[September 17, 2009] Testing Technologies: Testing Technologies Takes Action at the 8th NGN IMS Plugfest as a Full Voting Member of the NGN IMS Forum Tweet The NGN IMS Forum Plugfests are interoperability events covering converged IMS and NGN services over wireless, wireline and cable broadband. Plugfest 8 focuses on Interoperability for voice and multimedia applications, DIAMETER, BSS/OSS and Security inter and intra network. Testing Technologies showcases Interoperability Testing between CSCF, HSS and AS with their test automation platform TTworkbench. This tool provides a stimulus (simulating SIP clients/UAs) to the CSCF, setting up USER sessions and transactions. They are then forwarded over the Cx interface to the HSS and Sh interface to AS and other relevant network elements. Within their TTsuite product line, Testing Technologies supplies TTsuite-HSS, a conformance and interoperability test framework for Home Subscriber Server (HSS) implementations. Testing HSS, the main database in IMS architectures, is being indispensable. It is the only server containing sensible user and service data like authorization, accounting or roaming. TTsuite-HSS supports 3GPP release 6 and 7, providing 88 test cases for all kinds of procedures (location management, user data handling, authentication, subscription, and notification). TTsuite-HSS focuses on protocol conformance of the interaction between HSS and other IMS signaling components in compliance with the relevant requirements for the Cx and Sh interface. Users are able to perform standards-based testing according to Diameter specifications. Based on the technology-independent test platform TTworkbench, TTsuite-HSS can be rapidly integrated into existing test environments. You can expand your test suite by writing own test cases with the available editor. TTsuite-HSS assures fast and simple test execution and analysis, repeatability of tests, and provides all kinds of test automation features.
