scope:

This final draft European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Portable radio Termination (PT) Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma for the Digital European Cordless Telecommunication (DECT) Public Access Profile (PAP) test specification.

The PAP test specification ETS comprises seven parts:

Part 1: Overview.

Part 2: Portable radio Termination (PT) Abstract Test Suite (ATS) - versions available in both ISO9646 TTCN.MP format (electronic) and TTCN.GR format (paper).

Part 3: Portable radio Termination (PT) Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma.

Part 4: Portable radio Termination (PT) Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma.

Part 5: Fixed radio Termination (FT) Abstract Test Suite (ATS) - versions available in both ISO9646 TTCN.MP format (electronic) and TTCN.GR format (paper).

Part 6: Fixed radio Termination (FT) Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma.

Part 7: Fixed radio Termination (FT) Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma.

The Abstract Test Suite (ATS) describes a set of tests which can be converted using commonly available tools into an executable test suite. For the protocol tests, it consists of TTCN tables comprising an overview section, a declarations section, a constraints section and a dynamic behaviour section. For the non-protocol tests (real-effects), it describes the test method using natural language. The real effects test procedures are contained in ETS 300 323-1 [26] Annex C.

The Protocol Implementation Conformance (PICS) proforma shows a checklist of all mandatory, optional and conditional features, elements of procedure, parameters, options, timers, multi-layer dependencies and other capabilities identified in the protocol specification. Once completed by the manufacturer, this shows which parts of the PAP static conformance requirements the manufacturer has implemented.

The Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma is a questionnaire for the manufacturer to complete showing all the detailed information required by the test laboratory, e.g. methods of feature invocation, real timer values and identities.
