Network integration testing between SIP and ISDN/PSTN network signalling protocols – Part 4: Abstract test suite and partial protocol implementation extra information for testing proforma specification for SIP-SIP Recommendation ITU-T Q.3941.4 (Study Grou
"The purpose of the present recommendation is to provide the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma for Network Integration Testing (NIT) to verify the overall compatibility of SIP networks based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Session Description Protocol (SDP) as specified in TS 124 229 in compliance with the relevant requirements and in accordance with the relevant guidance given in ISO/IEC 9646-7 and ETS 300 406. The present recommendation is part 4 of a multi-part deliverable covering Network Integration Testing between SIP and ISDN/PSTN network signalling protocols: Part 1: ""Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) for SIP-ISDN""; Part 2: ""Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma specification"" for SIP-ISDN; Part 3: ""Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) for SIP-SIP"". Part 4: Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma specification for SIP-SIP"". The content of the present document is written according to the guidelines of ISO/IEC 9646-1 and ETS 300 406. The following test specification and design considerations can be found in the body of the present document: ? the overall test suite structure; ? the testing architecture; ? the test methods and port definitions; ? the test configurations; ? the design principles@ assumptions@ and used interfaces to the TTCN3 tester (System Simulator); ? TTCN styles and conventions; ? the partial PIXIT proforma; ? the modules containing the TTCN-3 ATS. Annex A provides the Partial Implementation Extra Information for Testing (PIXIT) Proforma of the ATS. Annex B provides the Testing and Test Control Notation (TTCN-3) part of the ATS."
