scope:

The present document defines guidelines with the purpose of supporting the MEC Interoperability testing. It contains:

• conventions summarizing all pro formas and common rules for conduction Interoperability testing activities like done at the ETSI Plugtests™ events;

• the overall architecture describing the network including controllers, interfaces and applications;

• the configurations (CFG) summarizing the valid configurations derived from the overall architecture. A valid configuration is a specific subset of the overall architecture to which a given group of test descriptions applies used during test sessions;

• the Test Summary listing all test objectives. A Test Description (TD) will be developed for each test objective;

• the Test Descriptions (TDs) compiling all the information required to execute a test. They describe all the steps required to achieve a test objective;

• the Interoperability Feature Statement (IFS) identifying the features which a Function Under Test (FUT) supports, including those which are optional and those which are conditional on the support of other features. The IFS are used to select applicable TDs for each test session.
