3GPP Testing

Core Networks

ETSI Centre for Testing and Interoperability works closely with TC INT and different Specialist Task Forces in the development and validation of Test Specifications for 3GPP core networks.

These Test Specifications cover different testing aspects such as interoperability, interworking, conformance, performance and security for different protocols and network elements.

Latest activities focus on:

• Validation of Conformance Test Specifications and TTCN-3 Test Suites for:
• Upgrade of Interoperability Test Specifications on IMS NNI to 3GPP Rel 10 and RCS 5.1
• Extension of Interoperability Test Specifications for IMS and EPC to Diameter S6a and S9 interfaces (3GPP Rel 10)
• Development and validation of Test Specifications for end-to-end QoS assessment for VoLTE and RCS
• Development of Conformance Test Specifications for Diameter S6a and S9 interfaces (3GPP Rel 10)
• Development of Conformance Test Specifications for Diameter Cx and Dx interfaces (3GPP Rel 10)
