1 Scope
The present document specifies the protocol conformance testing in TTCN for the 3GPP User Equipment (UE) at the
Gm interface.
rd
The present document is the 3 part of a multi-part test specification, 3GPP TS 34.229. The following TTCN test
specification and design considerations can be found in the present document:
- the overall test suite structure;
- the testing architecture;
- the test methods and PCO definitions;
- the test configurations;
- the design principles, assumptions, and used interfaces to the TTCN tester (System Simulator);
- TTCN styles and conventions;
- the partial PIXIT proforma;
- the TTCN files for the mentioned protocols tests.
The Abstract Test Suites designed in the document are based on the test cases specified in prose
(3GPP TS 34.229-1 [5]).
The present document is valid for UE implemented according 3GPP Releases starting from Release 5 up to the Release
indicated on the cover page of the present document.
2 References
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present
document.
- References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or
non-specific.
- For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
- For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including
a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same
Release as the present document unless the context in which the reference is made suggests a different Release is
relevant (information on the applicable release in a particular context can be found in e.g. test case title,
description or applicability, message description or content).

4 Requirements on the TTCN development
A number of requirements are identified for the development and production of TTCN specification for 3GPP UE at the
Gm reference point.
1. Top-down design, following 3GPP 34.229-1 [5], 3GPP TS 34.123-1 [2], 3GPP TS 34.108 [7].
2. A unique testing architecture and test method for testing all protocol layers of UE.
3. Uniform TTCN style and naming conventions.
4. Improve TTCN readability.
5. Using TTCN-3 (ES 201 873-1 [12]).
