8. Interoperability is Key
Protocol Specification, Validation and Testing
Supporting ETSI committees on the application of best technical practices in standards on a daily basis
Protocol specification (UML, ASN.1, MSC, XML etc)
Development of test specifications (conformance and interoperability)
Validation techniques
Interoperability testing (Plugtests™)
Validation of standards and prototypes through interoperability events
ETSI TTCN-3 User Conferences (T3UC)
Sophia Antipolis (June 2009)
Bangalor (November 2009)
Geneva, July 2009

9. Why Interoperability Events?
Aim is to validate standards
Not implementations or products
Feedback (CRs) to relevant technical bodies
But testing and debugging are useful by-products!
Achieve in one week what would take months otherwise
A tool to develop and mature standards
Promote technology and community
ETSI Provides a complete service
Admin/Logistics support
Technical Support
Testing Expertise
