All test events at the PCO are specified in terms of PHL-ASPs (frame number parameter added).CP_TC:co-ordination Point Test Case (CP_TC) is located between the MTC and PTCLT_TC in the test system. It is used for passing co-ordination messagesbetween these two testing functions.CP_MAC:co-ordination Point MAC (CP_MAC) is located between the MTC and PTCLT_MAC in the test system. It is equivalent to the PCO used for DLC layertesting in part 6 of this ETS. All co-ordination messages at this CP are specifiedin terms of MAC-ASPs and DLC-PDUs.SIST ETS 300 497-3:1999



Page 12ETS 300 497-3: August 1996PTC LT_TC:the Lower Tester Parallel Test Component LT_TC (PTC LT_TC) is located inthe test system. It makes restricted use of the PCO by only observing the testevents in both directions. It assigns preliminary verdicts (the MTC assigns thefinal verdict).NOTE:This restricted use of the PCO is a non-ISO 9646-2 [22] application of the PCO.PTC LT_MAC:the Lower Tester Parallel Test Component LT_MAC (PTC LT_MAC) is locatedin the test system. It provides indirect control and observation of the IUT duringtest execution, via the underlying service-provider. It does not assign anyverdicts.MTC:the Main Test Component (MTC) is located in the test system. It is responsiblefor creating and terminating the PTCs, managing the co-ordination pointsCP_TC and CP_MAC, and computation of the final test case verdict.Upper layers:no explicit upper tester (UT) exists in the test system. However, the SUT (upperlayers) needs to carry out some UT functions to achieve some effects of test co-ordination procedures.The primitives used at the PCO (physical SAP - DSAP) are defined according to ETS 300 175-2 [2],clause 7 and associated subclauses.The co-ordination messages used at CP_MAC co-ordination point are abstract primitives includingprotocol data units and frames. The abstract primitives (MAC ASPs) are defined according toETS 300 175-3 [3], clause 8 and associated subclauses. Two abstract primitives for starting and stoppingthe synchronisation between the main test component and the parallel test component LT_MAC areadded for the needs of the tester. The protocol data units (DLC C-plane PDUs) are defined according toETS 300 175-4 [4], clause 7 and associated subclauses. The frames (DLC U-plane frames) are definedaccording to ETS 300 175-4 [4], clause 12 and associated subclauses.4.2Test strategyThe ATM defined in subclause 4.1 requires the use of concurrent TTCN, which is specified in Amendment1 of ISO 9646-3 [23]. The parallel test components PTC_TC and PTC_MAC is, however, seen as twoindependent entities. This means that there is no communication or synchronisation between the twoPTCs during the test.PTC_TC is specified in TTCN (annex A). Since PTC_TC is only observing at the PCO, this ATS does notcontain any send statements. Once the test purpose (TP) is fulfilled, the PTC_TC terminates, i.e. thereare no postambles, unless required by the TP. No explicit co-ordination messages is exchanged atCP_TC. To simplify the TTCN test cases, the underlying service provider has been assigned the task offrame numbering. Consequently, a frame parameter has been added to some of the PHL-ASPs.The requirements for PTC_MAC (annex B) are specified using ETS 300 474 [48].The Main Test Component (MTC) creates the two PTCs (using CREATE operation), stimulates thePTC_MAC (using MAC ASPs at CP_MAC) and then waits for the two PTCs to terminate (using the DONEevent). The final verdict is computed as follows:-a PASS is assigned if PTC_TC returns a PASS verdict and the expected event is received fromPTC_MAC at CP_MAC;-a FAIL verdict is assigned if PTC_TC returns a FAIL verdict independently of what is received fromPTC_MAC at CP_MAC;-an INCONC verdict is assigned if PTC_TC returns an INCONC verdict and the expected event isreceived from PTC_MAC at CP_MAC; or returns a PASS verdict and an unexpected event isreceived from PTC_MAC at CP_MAC.SIST ETS 300 497-3:1999

These conventions shall be considered during anylater maintenance or further development of the ATS.The ATS conventions contain two clauses, the naming conventions and the implementation conventions.The naming conventions describe the structure of the naming of all ATS elements. The implementationconventions describe the functional structure of the ATS.To define the ATS, the guidelines of the documents ETS 300 406 [29] and ETR 141
were considered.6.1Naming conventions6.1.1Declarations partThis subclause describes the naming conventions chosen for the elements of the ATS declarations part.6.1.1.1GeneralThe following general rules apply for name giving in the declarations part. All type definitions (Simple typedefinitions, Structured type definitions, ASP type definitions and PDU type definitions) shall be written inuppercase.All element names (Structured type definition), parameter names (ASP type definition) and field names(PDU type definition) shall be written in lowercase.Predefined types (e.g. BITSTRING[8]) are never used in structured type definitions, ASP type definitionsor PDU type definitions. Simple types are used instead.All declarations in the test suite are listed in alphabetical order. A different order of listing should be usedfor only maintenance reason.6.1.1.2Test suite operations definitionThe test suite operation identifiers are composed of substrings in lowercase letters, except for standardprefix "TSO_". Each substring is separated by an underscore character ("_").EXAMPLE:TSO_substring.SIST ETS 300 497-3:1999
