SIST EN 300 443-6:2000 is the ETSI standard for the network-side abstract test suite and partial PIXIT proforma for the Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. two (DSS2) layer 3 basic call/bearer control protocol. It specifies how implementations at the B-ISDN user-network interface are tested for conformance to EN 300 443-1, with material aimed at test laboratories, test tool developers, and equipment suppliers working on the network side.
What does SIST EN 300 443-6:2000 specify?
SIST EN 300 443-6:2000 specifies the network Abstract Test Suite (ATS) for implementations at the TB reference point, or the coincident SB and TB reference point, of the DSS2 layer 3 basic call/bearer control protocol. It is the testing part of the EN 300 443 series for the network side.
The document is organized as clauses 1 to 9, followed by three normative annexes. The clauses cover scope, references, definitions and abbreviations, the abstract test method, untestable test purposes, the ATS-to-test-purpose map, and conformance rules for the report, PIXIT, and ATS.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) proforma |
| Annex B | Partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma |
| Annex C | Abstract Test Suite (ATS), including TTCN.GR and TTCN.MP forms |
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 443-6:2000?
Clause 4 uses a combination of remote and multi-party test methods. The test system includes one Main Test Component (MTC) and one or more Parallel Test Components (PTCs), with verdicts assigned from the interface under test. In practice, this means the test design focuses on observed behavior at the network interface, while other interfaces are used to stimulate the Implementation Under Test (IUT).
Clause 4 also explains how the MTC and PTCs interact through Co-ordination Messages (CM) and Points of Control and Observation (PCO). The MTC controls the PTCs and observes the lower PCO, called L0. For a tester, this defines where control and verdicts come from during execution.
Clause 5 states that there are no untestable test purposes associated with this ATS. That matters because every test purpose from the companion test-purpose specification is intended to have a corresponding test case.
Clause 6 gives a direct one-to-one ATS-to-TP map. The test-purpose identifiers from EN 300 443-5 are reused as test case names. This makes it easier to trace a test result back to the original test purpose.
Clause 7 defines PCTR conformance. A test laboratory producing a Protocol Conformance Test Report has to follow the ISO/IEC 9646-5 template and the PCTR proforma in Annex A. Annex A keeps a fixed clause order and allows extra columns only to the right of the existing ones.
Clause 8 defines PIXIT conformance. A test realizer and a test laboratory must provide a PIXIT proforma technically equivalent to Annex B, with additional questions allowed where needed to prepare the Means of Testing (MOT) for a specific IUT. In practice, Annex B is where the lab collects the exact setup data needed to run the tests.
Clause 9 defines ATS conformance. An Executable Test Suite (ExTS) and MOT have to be technically equivalent to the ATS in Annex C, and all abstract test event sequences must be realizable in the executable tests. Extra checks may exist in a real test system, but they do not affect the verdict assigned by the ATS.
What terms does SIST EN 300 443-6:2000 define?
- Implementation Under Test (IUT) - the protocol implementation being assessed against the standard.
- System Under Test (SUT) - the wider system that includes the IUT in the test setup.
- Abstract Test Suite (ATS) - the standardized set of abstract test cases used to assess conformance.
- Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) - the implementation statement used to describe what the protocol supports.
- Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) - the extra implementation data needed to prepare and run tests.
- Point of Control and Observation (PCO) - the interface point where the test system controls and observes protocol behavior.
- Main Test Component (MTC) - the test component that controls the test case and assigns verdicts at the main observation point.
Who uses SIST EN 300 443-6:2000?
Test laboratories use SIST EN 300 443-6:2000 to build conformance test services, complete PCTR reports, and gather PIXIT data before execution. Test tool and test-suite developers use Annex C to realize an executable ATS from the TTCN forms.
Equipment suppliers and protocol implementers use it to verify network-side DSS2 layer 3 behavior against EN 300 443-1. Quality and conformance managers use it to trace test results back to named test purposes and documented verdicts.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 443-6:2000?
- EN 300 443-1 - the protocol specification that the ATS tests.
- EN 300 443-2 - the PICS proforma used to describe implementation support.
- EN 300 443-5 - the network-side test-suite structure and test purposes that map to the ATS.
- ISO/IEC 9646-1 - general conformance testing concepts and definitions.
- ISO/IEC 9646-2 - abstract test suite specification and test methods.
- ISO/IEC 9646-3 - Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN).
- ISO/IEC 9646-4 - test realization requirements for executable test suites.
- ISO/IEC 9646-5 - requirements for test laboratories and clients in conformance assessment.
- ITU-T Recommendation I.413 - the B-ISDN user-network interface reference point definitions used in the scope.
What does the SIST EN 300 443-6:2000 document contain?
The document contains the abstract test method, including diagrams and explanatory text for the multi-party setup and the combined remote and multi-party approach. It also contains the PCTR proforma in Annex A, with identification, conformance status, static and dynamic summaries, and a detailed test campaign report.
Annex B provides the partial PIXIT proforma in tables for test-laboratory data, SUT data, protocol identification, test configurations, stimuli, timers, and parameter values. Annex C contains the ATS in TTCN.GR and TTCN.MP forms, delivered as companion files.
