  1. 3rd Generation Mobile Reference Test System to enable TTCN-3 Tool Assurance STF343 Final Report Dirk Tepelmann STF343 Leader TC-MTS#47 6-8 October 2008 47TD33 STF343 Final Report

  2. STF Objectives and Approach • Objective: Develop solutions that will enable the validation and testing of TTCN-3 tools (i.e. compilers/interpreters and their runtime system). • Motivated by intent of 3GPP RAN5 to use from LTE/SAE (Rel-8) onwards TTCN-3 instead of TTCN-2. • Observation of ETSI MCC TF160: TTCN-3 test suites are not exchangeable between different TTCN-3 tools. • Approach: • Reference ATS based on 3GPP benchmark ATS from MCC TF160. • Develop Mirror ATS that replaces SUT of reference ATS. • Execute reference ATS and mirror ATS against each other by running them on TTCN-3 tools. STF343 Final Report

  3. Involved People and Timescale • Experts selected December 2007 • STF leader: Dirk Tepelmann (Testing Technologies) • Andy Rauland (Nokia Siemens Networks) • Helmut Neukirchen (Uni Göttingen) • 35 funded days and 28 voluntary days spent • Provided budget for funded days was even 48 days, but lack of experts. • Letter of engagements refers only to Priority 1 tasks of ToR. • Steering Group: • Dieter Hogrefe • Laurent Vreck • Shicheng Hu • Stephan Schulz • Alberto Berrini • Duration: January 2008 – September 2008 STF343 Final Report

  4. Achievements • Milestone B completed: • Final Report (47TD30), • Final draft technical report DTR/MTS-00104 (47TD31 + ATS 47TD32)(to become ETSI TR 102 976): • Covering priority 1 tasks only, i.e. • Design test architecture & Draft TR architecture element, • Adapt 3G benchmark ATS • Write TTCN for mirror ATS. • As a bonus: Priority 2 tasks covered partially, i.e. • Define System Adaptors & Draft TR SA element (Only sketched in Final DTR). • No further Priority 2 and 3 tasks, i.e. • No coverage of full TTCN-3 standard or other technologies than 3GPP. • No feedback from field tests and updates of technical report. STF343 Final Report

  5. Intra TTCN-3 Executable approach Reference ATS Mirror ATS • Advantage: minimal efforts. • no CoDecs or System Adapters must be implemented. • No real disadvantages. MTC PTC1 PTC1_mirror MTC_mirror PTC2 PTC2_mirror test system interface STF343 Final Report

  6. Inter TTCN-3 Executable approach Reference ATS Mirror ATS • Disadvantage: Huge efforts. • CoDecs and System Adapters must be defined and implemented. • Advantage: Includes all interfaces of a TTCN-3 test system. MTC PTC1 PTC1_mirror MTC_mirror PTC2 PTC2_mirror test system interface • test system interface STF343 Final Report

  7. Reference ATS and Mirror ATS • Reference ATS based on (unvalidated) benchmark ATS from MCC TF160. • AGPS (TC_17_2_4_1), • HSU (tc_14_7_4), • MAC (tc_7_1_3_1), • RAB (tc_14_2_57), • RRC (TC8_1_2_1, TC8_3_1_30, TC8_4_1_6), • GERAN (TC20_22_29), • RLC (tc_7_2_3_22). • Reference ATS and Mirror ATS together probably the largest publicly available TTCN-3 test suite: 138 KLOC TTCN-3 (incl. converted ASN.1) • 9 reference test cases and 9 mirror test cases. • Using ETSI ES 201 873-1 Core language V3.3.2 (2008-03), ETSI ES 201 873-4 Op. Sem. V3.3.1 (2008-03), ETSI ES 201 873-7 ASN.1 V3.3.1 (2008-03): • Validated by running mirror ATS against reference ATS. STF343 Final Report

  8. Obtained coverage • 55% coverage of the TTCN-3 Core language statements. • According to ToR, coverage criterion was 3GPP, not TTCN-3 concepts! • Suggestion: STF343 continuation. • Based on the TTCN-3 standard as coverage criterion. STF343 Final Report

  9. Priority 2 bonus work • Applied Intra approach: • Experimental assessment of TTCN-3 tools. • Supported by TestingTechnologies, Telelogic, Danet, and Elvior. • Proof-of-concept application of Inter approach: • XML-based CoDec and TCP-based System Adapter sketched in Annex of TR. • Used for running two instances of TTworkbench against each other. STF343 Final Report

  10. End of Presentation • Thank you for you attention! • Any questions? • Milestone B • Final report (47TD30) • Final draft technical report (47TD31) incl. ATS (47TD32) to be endorsed by MTS #47. • Continuation of STF343? • More systematic coverage of TTCN-3 standards reasonable!(Instead of covering 3GPP test purposes.) STF343 Final Report
