MTS#50, Sophia Antipolis

2. STF 370 Overview
Automated Interoperability Testing (for distributed systems)
EC funded STF composed of 3 work packages
WP1: Methodology and Framework
WP2: IMS case study based on use of TTCN-3
WP3: Dissemination
Deliverables
EG on Auto IOT Methodology
TR on Specific Architectures (i.e., IMS core network IOT case study)
TR on (IMS) Plugtest experience
Training material (MISC WI)
EC reports
STF will end Jun 2010
Currently still 4 experts active
2 more STF sessions planned

3. WP1 & WP2 Status
First two work packages have been essentially completed 2009
Deliverables (1 EG & 2 TRs) have been approved and published
IMS IOT test system has been implemented in cooperation with TC INT and successfully validated at IMS PLU3
Feedback on test descriptions provided to TC INT
Used at event in offline mode, i.e., for IOT trace analysis
309 interoperability tests have been analysed with this tool during event
Following a MTS rapporteur’s meeting in Nov the STF has produced a CR for MTS #50 on EG (Generic approach to IOT) in order to position it better in respect to EG (Framework & Methodology for Auto IOT)
Product certification vs. standard validation
Open source distribution of codec and adapter code still has to be investigated
Likely to be in same place as ETSI t3q and t3d tools

4. WP3 Status Work started in Nov 2009
Objective is to generate training material and a white paper on automated interoperability testing
Training material is well advanced
Part 1: General Presentation of Auto IOT Methodology (25 slides)
Part 2: Walk-through of Interoperability Test System Development Process in context of TTCN-3 and IMS core network IOT (80 slides)
Part 3 (planned): Auto IOT Exercises
Current drafts uploaded as MTS#50 contribution 11
Proposal for Auto IOT Tutorial submitted to T3UC 2010
Likely to be a stripped down version of part 2
Work on white paper has started but still in early drafting stage
Will be focus of remaining sessions

5. Road ahead Finalize training Complete white paper
Prepare and present tutorial in Beijing (if it is accepted)
Final EC report
