2. Test Specifications 2012
Continued development of conformance test specifications for
LTE™, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT™)
Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
In particular, the work on ITS included
Development of a conformance test platform (the ‘Conformance Validation Framework’)
Conformance test specifications for the Co-operative Awareness Message (CAM)
Decentralised Environmental Notification Message (DENM) services
GeoNetworking protocols
Security tests for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside network infrastructure

3. Interoperability events 2012
We carried out 12 Plugtests events:
Electronic Signatures
the Internet of Things (CoAP)
Cloud (2 events)
ITS
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications
Mobile Applications
IPv6
eCall
VoLTE RCS
Associated Signature Container (ASiC)
eHealth

4. Strategic Interest 2013 Test specifications and interop events for M2M
Cloud
ITS
Semantic Interoperability
IoT – concentrating on CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) and 6LoWPAN testing.
Methodologies for testing Smart Grid.
Interoperability for Smart Cities.
Emphasis on combining technical quality with testing and validation (interoperability events) to deliver interoperable standards and products.

5. TC MTS – main points in 2012 Testing Languages
Continued maintenance of TTCN-3
Further development of TPLAN
Work started on TDL (Test Description Language)
Model Based Testing
Technical Report (TR) outlining the case studies
ETSI Guide (EG) on the use of MBT in the development of standardised tests.
Security Testing
Ongoing TR describing use of security testing in industry
ETSI Technical Specification (TS) on security testing terminology and a security design guide

6. Major international user conferences 2012
TTCN -3 User Conference, Bangalore, India
MBT User Conference, Tallinn, Estonia
In 2013 these two successful events will be combined into a single annual conference
The User Conference on Advanced Automated Testing (UCAAT)
Broader the scope beyond TTCN-3 and MBT and will include more on general specification techniques and requirements.
