Pushing more testing back into Simulator domain, where turn-around time is much shorter and UE Supplier

8 Anritsu s understanding of the overall goal UE Supplier Development & Conformance Testing UE Supplier Local Simulator Testing Test Network Testing Network Operator Live Network Testing Key Objectives: Pushing more testing back into Simulator domain, where turn-around time is much shorter and UE Supplier can handle at their own development site Reducing the number of problems that end up going into the field Consumer 8

9 Test requirements 2 perspectives UE Suppliers Building block approach then integration Designed to a specification (e.g. 3GPP) Conformance testing (GCF / PTCRB) Defined by marketing for competitive advantage (features) Meeting a defined specification Network Operators Overall performance and behaviour on their network Application oriented Operator Acceptance testing Defined by marketing for competitive advantage (applications) Meeting customer needs 9

10 What tests are required for UE suppliers? Conformance test concept What is Conformance Testing? Mobile communications standards (e.g. GSM, W-CDMA) define the behaviour of the phone and the network in every operational situation. The aim of Conformance Testing is to make sure the phone behaves according to the standard in every operational situation Why is Conformance Testing important? Because operators and infra-vendors rely on mobiles properly obeying the standard, non-compliant phones cause problems if they get onto networks especially when new features and services are introduced and the software in the base stations and network infrastructure is not mature. 10
