ETSI test tool agreement
From Lightwave
Under the terms of the commercial agreement (the first between ETSI and a Chinese client), ETSI’s Interopolis service will assist CATR (part of the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) in implementing a TTCN-3 conformance test tool capable of executing test suites for evolving communications networks. TTCN-3 is the Testing and Test Control Notation, a programming language for writing tests that has been developed by ETSI.
The standardised test suites, which are currently being developed by ETSI, concern the use of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Session Description Protocol (SDP) within IMS, the IP Multimedia Sub-system, an IP-based technology now being widely adopted as the core element in fixed and mobile communications and broadcast networks.
