ISDN BRI L3 Signaling Tester
Test Harness & Test Suite for the Validation of ISDN BRI L3 Implementations.
ISDN BRI L3 Conformance Test Architecture
Overview
The ISDN BRI L3 Signaling Tester is a test environment for the ISDN BRI L3 signaling specification as defined by the ITU-T standards. It is a SAFIRE based test harness able to run pre-defined ACATS test scenarios against ISDN BRI L3 test objects in a controlled & deterministic manner.
The SAFIRE graphical editor allows new scenarios to be created or existing scenarios to be modified using the ISDN BRI L3 interface library (API), which defines the ISDN BRI L3 messages and parameters. The test harness includes an ISDN BRI L3 protocol analyzer for on-line capture and decode of the signaling in real-time both during tests and as a stand-alone tracer for live systems.
The ISDN BRI L3 Signaling Tester is suitable for conformance tests, functional tests, factory tests & acceptance tests.
Key Features
- Fully integrated, complete test environment for ISDN BRI L3
- ISO conformant test scenarios giving framework coverage of ISDN BRI L3
- Graphical development environment & libraries for creating new ISDN BRI L3 tests
- Compatible with ACATS ISDN BRI L3 Professional Test Suite (not included)
- Expandable for ISDN BRI L3
- ISDN BRI L3 Reference Test Object
Fixed Access Network Architecture
Description
The ISDN BRI L3 Signaling Tester was designed to be a complete solution for ISDN BRI L3 signaling test requirements. It has the key components:
- ISDN BRI L3 Test Harness including codec & ISDN stack
- ACATS ISDN BRI L3 Framework Test Suite
- ISDN BRI L3 Interface Library
- ISDN BRI L3 Protocol Analyzer
The ISDN BRI L3 test harness uses the powerful SAFIRE environment to provide advanced features like
- Graphical editing (flow diagram representation)
- Automated execution of test campaigns
- Slow motion replay with synchronized trace & breakpoints
- Test reports with statistics (also HTML)
- Real-time, high performance protocol analysis
Using the ISDN BRI L3 Signaling Tester, test objects can be accurately, reliably and comfortably validated for compliance with ITU-T standard Q.931. It is suitable for manufacturers, network operators and service providers to address all stages of the development cycle, regression testing through to type approval, acceptance testing & certification (note: requirements may be country/organization specific).
The ACATS ISDN BRI L3 Framework Test Suite includes test scenarios for the validation of Fixed Access network components by simulating the controlled interaction with other ISDN BRI L3 entities such as
- Terminal Equipment (TE)
- Network Termination (NT)
SAFIRE Editor Sample
The framework test suite contains a selection of important scenarios, which can be used to confirm the basic functionality of a ISDN BRI L3 test object. They are also an excellent basis for customization and enhancement according to specific needs.
An upgrade is available for the ACATS ISDN BRI L3 Professional Test Suite, which offers extensive coverage of the ISDN BRI L3 signaling test requirements.
ISDN BRI L3 Reference Test Object
For reference a virtual test harness is included, that allows test scenarios to be run off-line against a software-only test object under controlled conditions. The test harness uses a software bus to replace the physical connection and an accurate software model as the test object. Normally fully automated execution of tests is possible, but in some specific cases the test object allows/requires user interaction during the tests.
