Editorial

y I am proud to offer you the first issue of our Testability Timesunder our new company name COMPRION. With the new compa-ny name we are also introducing new products and several pro-duct enhancements in this edition.

‘Interoperability’ is the main topic of this Testability Times. Whentalking about interoperability everyone has a certain idea aboutwhat it is and how it can be achieved. ‘Interoperability’ is a broadterm, encompassing many of the issues impinging upon the ef-fectiveness with which diverse information resources mightfruitfully co-work. In the telecommunication world we usually

think about technical interoperability between different devicesor applications.

But ‘Interoperability’ can also be “Human Interoperability” or “Organisational Interoperability”. In our daily communicationwith customers and partners we also have a need for “inter-operability” and our Testability Times is aimed to be a mediumto connect our customers, partners and us. Therefore our maga-zine should be more than a one way communication medium,we always like to invite you to use it as your carrier. In this mag-azine some of our customers and partners present their view on“interoperability”.

Yours sincerely,

y Michael Wehmeier COO

Top Topic I: Interoperability

Testing and Interoperability

Interoperability describes the capability of a system or unit to interact with other systems or units to operate effectively togeth-er. Therefore interoperable systems promise to be highly economic because they allow a simple exchange of different independ-ent subsystems whithout adaptations. Also the use of the independent components in different environments shall be achievedeasily.

The (U)SIM Card –The symbol of interoperability

(U)SIM Cards used for mobile communi-cation may be regarded as highly inter-operable systems. They have to work cor-rectly in a huge amount of different cellu-lar phones and networks. To meet thehigh ambition of interoperable systemssome key success factors have to be ful-filled, which are reflected in an appropri-ate testing approach.

Clear requirements –The basis for all interoperability

At the beginning of building up an inter-operable system a clear definition of allrequirements especially of the interfacesbetween the interoperable subsystemsmust be available. Identification and clar-ification of ambiguous or missing re-quirements is the first key success factor in building up an interoperable systemand shall not be considered as scope for development. To support this aspect therequirements shall be linked with thetestcases in the test specifications.

Incremental testing Process –The key for interoperability testing successProducts which are used in different en-vironments like (U)SIM cards are deve-loped on the basis of general basic prod-ucts with specific customer adaptationsand extensions in separate developmentsteps. This requires an incremental testapproach, starting with a test of the basisproduct (often the operating system) andafterwards the testing of customer specif-ic applications or configurations.

Finding the loop back to improvementsIn the different test steps a solid defecttracking process should be implementedwhich takes not only the current productinto account, but allows also improve-ments inside previous developmentsteps. To keep the achieved quality re-gression testing with an automated testenvironment should be supported.

Multiple Interoperability in Mobile Networks

Interoperability is the buzzword in today’s mobile phone industry, but it often means different things to different people. Thisarticle gives some definitions for Interoperability and the range of Testing Tasks that result in interoperability, making mobiletelephony possible. It also highlights some of the bodies dealing with Interoperability.

the performance of a protocol stack onlaboratory-based testing networks. Test-ing is controlled and problems can beidentified without impacting other users.IOT testing ensures the product will suc-cessfully work on Infrastructure vendorsequipment.

Therefore it may be suggested that onepossible definition of IOT would be “em-pirical testing carried out in controlledlaboratory conditions using test bedfacilities”.

Conducting IOT Most infrastructure vendors have a testbed facility (IOT laboratory – e. g. Erics-son, Alcatel, Nokia etc.) that can be hiredby terminal manufacturers or protocolstack suppliers. The infrastructure ven-dor IOT test facility typically offers full

support across all the elements of thenetwork infrastructure by highly trainedengineers that have a thorough under-standing of the network specificationsand equipment. Depending on the typeof testing being done and the test suitesneeded/desired, it can make sense toengage a third party service organisationto both organise and support IOT testing.Whilst each infrastructure vendors test fa-cility defines its own specific test suite,customised testing requirements can be

agreed.

One of the advantages IOT testing hasover testing in a live network situationis that testing can be carried out againstall the features that the infrastructurevendor offers, and not just the ones pur-chased by the operator. The IOT environ-ment is an “Island state” and hence canbe configured/reconfigured to set spe-cific parameters for specific tests.

Example of the type of testing that can befound in IOT test facilities.y Testing to 2G / 2.5G / EDGE / UMTSy Inter SGSN / GGSN / BSC reselectiony Handovers (GGSM - W-CDMA)y Signal strength measurementy Mobile-originated and mobile-

terminated testingy FR / HR / EFRy Location updatingy Cell selection and reselectiony Routing area updatesy GPRS attach and detachy GPRS PDP activation and

deactivationy GPRS Authenticationy Verification Of Different QOS Para-

meters.y All Coding Schemes.y NMO I, II & III Testingy V42bis Data Compression & Header

Compression testingy TCP/IP traffic (UL/DL) with different

Multislot configurationsy Concurrent Uplink and Downlink

testing – RLC/MAC Acknowledgedwith & without Frequency Hopping

IOT testing is often confused withfield-testing It makes sense to differentiate betweenIOT and field testing because field testingis performed in live commercial networks

and is, by its nature, performed under very different circumstances than the laboriented IOT testing.

The GCF has clearly defined field testingand the requirements that need to bemet for approval, although this field test-ing is not necessary for PTCRB approval.

IOP – An Abbreviation that is clearly definedThe GCF (General Certification Forum)uses the following terminology for inter-operability:

IOP: Interoperability IOT: Interoperability testing

IOP is the term used for Multimedia Mes-saging Service (MMS) IOP testing which isrequired (if the product supports the fea-ture) to obtain compliance with both theGCF and PTCRB (PCS Type CertificationReview Board).

The testing covers two very important is-sues from both a terminal manufacturer and end user perspective:y Client-to-Server:

The terminal can work reliably on dif-

ferent manufacturers MMS Centresy Client-to-Client:

The terminal can work with other ter-minal manufacturers devices, send-ing and receiving different file typesassociated with MMS e. g. image filetypes, video clip types etc.

IOT – Defined by the Testing actionIOT (Interoperability testing) is the termthat is less clearly defined and results ina variety of interpretation. The absence

of a clear industry definition for IOT doesnot mean there is no IOT activity amongthe market players. In fact, this is one of the essential parts of the testing of net-works and terminals.

Interoperability testing (IOT) is normallycarried out by protocol stack suppliers;however this is not always the case andsome terminal manufacturers also carryout IOT testing. IOT is required to confirm

What is Field Testing?Field testing is in essence interoperabi-lity testing, as the GCF requires that test-

ing be carried out on a number of differ-ent networks, with various manufacturersinfrastructure. It is designed to give a lev-el of confidence that the manufacturersterminal will work effectively on a varietyof networks. GCF field testing also re-quires that a number of network opera-tors SIMs/USIMs are used in the terminalwhen testing, which is an area of inter-operability that should also be covered,as well as ME/Network interoperability.Although GCF field testing covers the in-teroperability between the network andthe terminal, it does not cover the end-to-end interoperability performance of the manufacturers terminal against other manufacturers terminals.

IOT testing – Also a matter of testing network infrastructure interaction.IOT can also cover the interaction be-

tween the different manufacturer suppli-ers of the individual parts of the network.This specific area of interoperability is

addressed by the NVIOT (Network Ven-dors Interoperability Testing) Forum.NVIOT was formed to specify testing re-quirements with the aim of enablinginteroperability among the members’ in-frastructure solutions, in a seamless andsecure manner. The main aims of the fo-rum are to exchange interoperability testsuites, propose testing procedures, holdbimonthly meetings to study the resolu-tion of IOT issues and to set up commonprocedures to enable communication onIOT matters to operators.

ConclusionIt is evident that there are many differentways to define interoperability testing,

and many parts within the Network/Handset/USIM system, as well as thespecific interfaces between these individ-ual items, that undergo testing.

The aim of interoperability testing, how-ever, is clear: To ensure that the users of increasingly sophisticated mobile termi-nals receive robust and reliable services,including the seamless delivery of high-value, high quality services, wherever theuser is, and on whichever network.

Ms. Simonetta [email protected]

In the beginning ...Interoperability tests start by checkingthe compliance of the SIM-ME interfacewith the reference specifications (3GPPTS 51.011, TS 51.014) by following stan-dardized test methods (3GPP TS 31.120,TS 31.121, TS 31.122,..), but this is not

enough. One of the main problems is thatthere are vast differences in the SIM Tool-kit commands support that is offered bythe different mobile terminal models.

... there was the SIM ToolkitSIM Toolkit is a powerful tool that opera-tors can use to deploy services, however a counterpart is required on the handsetand, taking into account that many com-mands are optional on the terminal side,the worst case is that these are not to befound at all, and in most cases only someof these have been implemented by ter-minal manufacturers. Test suites running3GPP TS 11.10-4 can give operators aprecise idea of the mobile phone’s port-folio of toolkit capabilities, however thereis still a lack of interoperability standardi-zation at service level.

Interoperability testing is a must-haveChecking interoperability at this level me-ans testing using SIM cards inserted in re-al handsets and requires a great deal of

effort as there are only limited possibili-ties for automation. However it would, inany case, be better if these opportunitiesfor automation were investigated by te-sting tools providers. In fact SIM appletshave to be selected and tested from thereal handset menu and every mobile ter-minal model has its own menu with a dif-ferent location for SAT menu selection.

Evolution’s the name of the gameIf we return to the standardized SIM-ME

interface, we find that test suites have


SIM-Mobile Equipment Interoperability

The SIM is the main operator-enabler for a rich offering of value-added services and its technological platform, the UICC, is nowgrowing in a host of different ways – processing power, memory size, communication protocols. This all adds complexity to auser equipment system which also includes a wide range of mobile terminals. All this means that a key issue for operators isensuring excellent interoperability, at both a low level and also at a service level, between the two parts of the user equipment,namely the SIM card and the mobile terminal.



To secure interoperability between cardand terminal it’s recommended to testtodays and upcoming terminals beyond

existing conformance testing.

Based on input from various cooperatingcompanies we have gathered a collectionof relevant issues that are currently notcovered by the GCF and PTCRB regulation.COMPRION has developed a set of result-ing interoperability tests: “IT 3 TestcasesIOT for 3GPP Terminals” to increase andensure interoperability between (U)SIMand terminals. The test specifications aswell as the different test cases have beendeveloped in our lab.

Starting with three planed stages the firstpackage is available now. It contains 12different tests covering issues like ex-tended phonebook, SDN, MSISDN, ACLand file management handling.

The design and development of the “IT 3

Testcases IOT for 3GPP Terminals” is anongoing process where we count on thefeedback from our users. Please contactyour sales person for further information

Test Platforms for shared (U)SIMTestcasesFor the shared (U)SIM interface tests,

where a parallel use of a (U)SIM and aSystem simulator is needed, it is essen-tial to apply special validated equip-ment to achieve the GCF and PTCRB typeapproval. Besides the required formali-ties, it is also useful to have equip-ments that operate well with each oth-er. Therefore, we permanently coope-rate closely with the 2G and 3G SystemSimulator vendors to establish a highlevel of compatibility between our testequipment and the following test plat-forms:

New Program

COMPRION Colab

We are permanently working with dif-ferent partners worldwide to developour products in terms of usability, com-patibility and in terms of new features.Sometimes we do this with customers,sometimes with partners offering com-plementary products and sometimes

with companies normally specialisedin foreign branches.

You find the results of these efforts inte-grated into our continuous newly launch-ed products, and although you may not

find the fruits of our collaborations listedas separate products in the price list, theefforts will be apparent as improvementsof the usability of COMPRION Equipmentand so offer increased product benefits.

Therefore we are introducing theCOMPRION Colab as a program.

Colab invites you to get in contact withus to find out how your wishes can be ful-filled in terms of new product features,

interface constructions or principal prod-uct use. The extent of your Colab partner-ship with us will be kept within the termsof publicity that you wish. However, if theresults are to our mutual benefit, and youagree with it, we would also like to pres-ent the results of our cooperation under the name COMPRION Colab.

The examples presented now shows thatit works!

Top Topic II

IT 3 Prove!

A new test device specially dedicated for pre-conformance and development testing Before IT 3 Prove! was introduced, available test equipment either didn’t measure up to the demands of pre-conformance anddevelopment testing or it was too costly. This special product exactly fits the needs of a pre-conformance department or a de-

velopment department in terms of features and price. As it has been developed from the GCF-validated system, our IT 3 Platform,the user can build up a seamless process, moving from development to pre-conformance testing through to final type approval for their product. Its small size and low weight, together with the fact that it is operated with a PC or notebook makes daily useof the device really user-friendly.

One tool for testing different mobile equip-ment smart card inter-face technologiesAs the simulation isbased on the ISO/IEC7816-3 standard andsupports various tele-com technologies suchas GSM SIM, W-CDMAUICC/USIM and CDMA2000 R-UIM it’s possi-ble to use IT

3 Prove!for all relevant telecomstandards .

The device supports allused (U)SAT and CCAT Commands whichmakes it possible totest all varieties of Toolkit Application im-plementation on cur-rent and future mobileequipment. State of theart mobile equipmentsupports dual modetechnology and we can

already see the firstimplementations with the three mostcommon access technologies, GSM,W-CDMA and CDMA2000 in one unit.With the different technologies support-ed by IT

3 Prove!, customers are able touse one tool for all their needs. Thisslashes the initial cost of investment, andcustomers only have to become familiar with one test tool for all requirements.

IT 3 Prove! is, like our other products, fu-

ture-proof and also supports all the cur-rent smart card transfer protocols (T=0and T=1) and all voltage classes (1,8V, 3Vand 5V) – and it’s also prepared for thenew 1.2V voltage class which is currentlybeing discussed by standardisationgroups.

Immediate and easy-to-read informa-tion while testing After switching on the device, the struc-tured view of the terminal profile (L7 win-dow) tells us what the “Device Under Test” has implemented in terms of func-tionality. This saves time while searchingfor the cause of any problems that are no-ticed. In the same way, online visualisa-



11

tion supports the user when isolating theproblem during a test run. The three par-allel working windows (L1, L2, L7) show-ing the relevant communication layersare synchronized and give the user a fastoverview. The high-level translation of ap-plication specific data and a graphic viewof the toolkit application integrated in theGUI encourages a wider spectrum of us-ers, as expert knowledge of hex code in-terpretation is not needed.

Exact testing – a matter of finding detailsTwo points are relevant for exact testing –finding short errors and sporadically

occurring errors. As IT 3 Prove! supports

enhanced communication speed up to 8clock cycles per etu at a frequency of 10MHz as well as having a high recordingresolution (20ns), the user can find shortevents and errors. The timing analysisfunction widens the possibilities evenfurther. The long recording times – onlylimited by the space on your hard drive –allow users to trace and record infre-quently occurring problem events.

The basic function to enable testing –error simulating Error simulation is a primary function our customers need when they want to test

an item, especially if the object under testis being tested under worst-case condi-tions. With IT

3 Prove!, users can preparea test where the settings of the specificapplication simulate these error stressconditions. The open C++ API for analyser development allows the creation of anautomatic verdict and report generationfor self-defined test cases, which helps tospeed up the result analysis.

USAT Test Cases

New – USAT Test Cases 3GPP TS 31.124To support the conformance testing of the USIM Application Toolkit (USAT) im-plementation of 3G user equipmentCOMPRION introduces the 3GPP TS31.124 Test Cases. The test specificationhas been introduced in 3GPP in April2005 and COMPRION is one of the sup-porting companies to create and main-tain the new USAT test specification. TheRelease 6 test specification covers USAT features from Release 99 up to Release 6.We offer 3GPP TS 31.124 test cases pack-

ages to test the USAT Release 99 up to

Release 6 features. The test cases canbe operated on the validated GCF/PTCRBconformance test platforms IT

3 DigitalSimulator and IT

3 Analog Simulator andare also available for the new pre-confor-mance tester IT 3 Prove!The USAT test cases are based on the IT

3

USAT Editor test engine which can also beused to create user defined USAT tests.Some test cases are “stand alone” testsonly running on the IT

3 simulators, other tests are “shared” tests that additionallyrequire a 3G System Simulator (USS).

New – (U)SAT Live! Application Replay With the latest IT 3 software release a(U)SAT session using a real live (U)SIMcan be recorded and reloaded into an IT

3

toolkit simulation to test proactive com-mands by replaying them with any (U)SAT

enabled phone in the lab. With the helpof this feature interoperability problemsin the field can be reproduced and de-

bugged under lab conditions.

Training ManualIT 3 PlatformFor first time user coming into contactwith the IT

3 Platform, training with our support team is crucial. The sophisticat-ed measurement and test system shouldbe fully explored and worked through all

its functions to enable the users to utilizeall the possibili-ties offered bythe product.It has been our experience thatIT

3 users haveadvanced ques-tions as theybecome familiar with the IT

3, andas a result ask

for more educa-tion. In other cases employ-ees may join the

department after the introduction of theIT

IT 3 Test Case

Manager –New PlatformModule

With the new IT 3 Test Case Manager theuser does not need to look up long fea-ture lists – he simply lets the tool cre-ate the test project containing only nec-essary test cases.The main function of the IT

3 Test CaseManager is to collect the relevant test

cases applicable to the item under test.In order to do so, the terminal profile,read from the device under test, is facili-tated as well as device and configurationspecific information. This information canbe set in single steps or can be importedfrom an .XML-file.

Basis for the selection are all Test Casesspecified in either 3GPP TS 51.010-4(SAT) or 3GPP TS 31.124 (USAT) and therespective applicability table. The imple-

mentations of these applicability tablesare constantly updated according to GCF and PTCRB requirements.This means a cut in the preparation timeneeded for a test session as well as theguarantee of not spending time on un-necessary single tests. This results in areduction in the overall test time.The automation also secures a certainquality and repeatability of the differenttest sessions.

Special knowledge regarding the to betested item can be provided by externalsources and no analysis of the applicabil-ity of test cases is needed. Hence thisadd-on is opening the execution of thetests to a broader user group.This new module is available in January2006 for 3G USAT and GSM SAT testingand is offered for the COMPRION con-formance platforms IT
