While each operator defines their own set of +requirements, a common set is defined by Global Certification Forum, or GCF. +In North America, these requirements are defined by PTCRB. + +Certification is achieved by successfully passing a set of test cases, which +are defined in various 3GPP specifications. The testing methodology is to +perform end-to-end testing. The tests are effectively testing the modem +hardware, the telephony stack and the applications simultaneously. In effect, +any change to the above components requires the testing to be performed again. +There is no consideration for separate component testing. + + +The Goal +======== + +While it is not possible to certify oFono directly as a GCF compliant +software stack, it is possible to alleviate some of the work required for +obtaining such certifications in an end-product. To accomplish this, oFono +team will begin running all 3GPP test cases that are deemed relevant to +achieving the above goal. + +The short-term approach is to perform manual test case runs to establish a +baseline and fix any issues discovered. In the longer term, we will be +building more advanced testing tools. The goals are automated testing to +detect regressions and a full SIM toolkit test suite. + + +Test case relevance and selection +================================= + +Many of the defined test cases are not relevant to the telephony stack and +applications; such test cases include testing of the modem roaming behavior, +particular radio frequency details, etc. These cases are not considered +here; only test cases directly applicable to the telephony stack or +applications will be considered. All other test cases are assumed to be +covered by the modem hardware manufacturer or device manufacturer as part of +the full product certification cycle. + + +Test cases considered applicable +================================ + +Below is a list of conformance test cases considered relevant to this effort: + +- 3GPP 51.010-1: 2G conformance specification +section 26.7.6.1, 44.2.9.1.1, 44.2.9.1.2: NITZ (network identity and time zone) +section 26.8.x : Tests related to circuit switched call control +section 26.9.x: Structured procedures (MO/MT calls, emergency calls) +section 31.x: Test of supplementary services +section 34.x: Short Message Service +section 44.2.1: Test case requirements for GPRS mobility management +section 44.2.2: Attach/Detach procedure + +- 3GPP 34.123-1: Protocol conformance specification +section 6.1.1.x: PLMN selection +section 6.1.2.6: Emergency calls +section 10.x: Circuit Switched Call Control (CC) +section 11.x: Session Management Procedures +section 12.2.x, 12.3.x: PS attach/detach procedure +section 13.x: General tests (Emergency calls) +section 16.x: Short message services + +- 3GPP 31.121: USIM application test specification +section 6.x: Security related Tests + +- 3GPP 51.010-4: SIM application toolkit conformance specification +section 27.22.x : SIM Application Toolkit + +- 3GPP 31.124: USAT conformance test specification +section 27.22.x: USAT Application Toolkit + +NOTE: Many of the tests related to (U)SAT are described +in ETSI TS 102.384 and not in the above 3GPP specifications.
