4 Introduction
Implementations Under Test (IUTs) which are to be tested using this ATS are required to have previously been tested
for conformity against and passed the test suite for EN 300 403-1 [5].
Any messages or fields within messages which are introduced by EN 300 403-1 [5] are included in this ATS.
Behaviours in test cases have been described in such a way to be able to take into account EN 300 403-1 [5] basic call
standard. This ATS also takes into account messages defined for the supplementary services, in particular
EN 300 196-1 [1]. When such messages are received, they are ignored by the ATS as this is not within the scope of the
present document.
5 Abstract Test Method (ATM)
5.1 Description of ATM used
This ATS describes the testing specification of the protocol procedures and switching functions needed to support the
videotelephony, audiographic conference, videoconference and telephony 7 kHz teleservices at T or coincident S and T
reference points for the network.
The requirement for testing the network IUT is to focus on the behaviour of the network IUT at the user-network
interface where a T reference point or coincident S and T reference point applies. Thus the IUT is the network DSS1
protocol entity at a particular user-network interface and not the whole network.
It is possible to specify an ATS based on a single party (remote) test method for such an IUT. However, it is considered
that an ATS based on such an approach is of limited use as the only way to specify IUT generated PDUs is to use the
"implicit send" statement. Many users of such an ATS would replace the "implicit send" statements with descriptions of
the behaviour at other interfaces.
An ATS based on a multi-party test method is considered to be more useful in that it is closer to how a real test suite
would be constructed. Such a test method specifies behaviour at multiple network interfaces. One very important
limitation here is that tests are focused on one particular interface. Thus the test system is made up of one Main Test
Component (MTC) and one or more Parallel Test Components (PTC), see figure 1.
5.2 Conventions for test components and PCOs
Figure 1 shows a logical view of the complete configuration of the MTC, PTCs, and PCOs. The Co-ordination Point
(CP) relationships between the various components are also indicated. In a master/slave arrangement, MTC is
considered to be the master while PTC1 and PTCT are the slaves. The "slave" testers are only an explicit description of
how to deal with the "other" interfaces during the testing process, i.e. "how to make the IUT send the required message".

This means, in particular, that the verdict FAIL will only be assigned from the protocol aspects observed on the interface
under test (i.e. by the "master" tester), as it would be observed by a terminal connected to this interface. A failure in the
correlation between the protocol at the different interfaces to which the different testers are connected, i.e. in the
mechanism of the functional service itself, will not cause a FAIL verdict. For instance, if the IUT fails to send a message
on the tested interface after another interface has received the proper stimulus, the verdict will be INCONCLUSIVE.
The MTC MTCA has two functions in this configuration. Firstly, it has the MTC function of controlling the one or more
PTCs. Thus it is responsible for starting the PTCs and afterwards coordinates activities by exchanging Coordination
Messages (CM) with the PTCs. Secondly it is responsible for the behaviour of the Lower Tester (LT) at PCO L0.
The MTC PCO is named "L0" ("L" for Lower). The L0 PCO is used to control and observe the behaviour of the IUT
and test case verdicts are assigned depending on the behaviour observed at this PCO. The PTCs PTC1 and PTCT use
PCOs L1 and T. These PCOs are used to control and, in a limited way, observe the behaviour of the network equipment
at interfaces other than the one under test. No verdicts are assigned at these PCOs.
As stated in a previous paragraph, the non-receipt of network generated messages at L0, which are stimulated by events
at L1 or T will result in INCONCLUSIVE rather than FA
