scope:

This draft European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the Fixed radio Termination (FT) Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma for the Digital European Cordless Telecommunications (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) - version 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 (this ETS).

The Abstract Test Suite (ATS) describes a set of tests which can be converted using commonly available tools into an executable test suiteETS). For the protocol tests, it consists of TTECN tables comprising an overview section, a declarations section, a constration section and a dynamic behavior 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, Annex C.

The Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma shows a checklist of all mandatory, optional and conditional features, elements of procedure, parameters, options, timers, multi-layer dependancies 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, for example, methods of feature invocation, real timer values and identities.
