About ETSI
European Telecommunications Standards Institute
Sophia Antipolis, France
Develops a wide range of specifications as Europe’s contribution to world-wide standardization of telecommunications and associated domains
Approx. 800 Members, 5000 experts
Successful ETSI technologies include
GSM, 3G UMTS, TIPHON (VoIP), DECT, TETRA, IN, ISDN (and B-ISDN), OSA etc.

Aim of Standardisation
Ultimate aim of standardisation is (global) interoperability
Likelihood of interoperability is increased with Well-defined, accurate and unambiguous standards Standards that are validated Systematic testing of products based on those
standards
Means standards of high technical quality Through the pragmatic use of modern techniques … for specification (UML, SDL, ASN.1) … and testing (TTCN)

Ensuring interoperability?
Traditionally, conformance testing has been the domain of telecommunications industry while interoperability testing has mainly been limited to the Internet world
Many see these as either/or solutions
Recent experience shows that both approaches have their strengths when used wisely.
Value to combine conformance testing with interoperability testing
Quality of specifications also contribute to interoperability

Unique ETSI Resources
TC MTS (Methods for Testing and Specification) Development of methodologies, techniques and languages http://portal.etsi.org
ETSI PTCC (Protocol and Testing Competence Centre) Supports ETSI TBs on the application of formal techniques in
standards on a daily basis Development of test specifications (conformance and interop) http://www.etsi.org/ptcc
ETSI Plugtests Service Validation of standards and prototypes through
interoperability events (bake-offs) http://www.etsi.org/plugtests
All three entities are highly complementary

During a Plugtests event, engineers can “Come & Test” !
Known also as bake-off, plugfests and interop
Plugtests : Provides useful feedback to the standardization process A unique opportunity to meet partners and competitors Improves both quality and interoperability of
implementations Helps debugging fast all together Technical event only. No sales, no marketing No certification, not a lab

We make it easy for you !
Come &Test, We’ll do the rest !
You will meet your technical community gathered in the same place over a week, working on the same issues
Efficient and quick debugging
COST & TIME SAVING !

PTCC mandate Provide expert support to ETSI Technical Bodies
State-of-the art techniques for developing protocol specifications
Expertise and management assistance for test specification development
In both cases we provide• Language expertise
• Tools expertise
• Pragmatic methodology expertise
The emphasis is on protocol aspects less involved with radio parameter specifications or
testing

ETSI and Testing
ETSI produces test specifications Developed by Specialist Task Forces (STFs) under PTCC Does not do actual testing or certification
Is a strong demand for test suites Radio and other physical aspects are regulatory Increased self-testing done by ETSI members Test Suites are integral to development processes
Mainly conformance testing specifications But also interoperability test specifications
MTS IPT (IP Testing group) Scoping phase (Jan-March 2003) Concentrate on IPv6 (QoS, security, mobility aspects)
