1 ETSI Plugtests  The interoperability Kick-off Meeting The acid test: Testing Interoperability 31 March - Patrick GUILLEMIN ETSI Plugtests  Technical Manager

2 The ETSI Resources in testing & interoperability are unique…  TC MTS (Methods for Testing and Specification)  Development of methodologies, techniques and languages   ETSI PTCC (Protocol and Testing Competence Centre)  Supports ETSI TBs on the application of formal techniques in standards on a daily basis  Development of test specifications (conformance and interop)   ETSI Plugtests Service  Validation of standards and prototypes through interoperability events …and complementary!

3 Plugtests TM events look like this: Oh I discovered a BUG !!!!

4 Plugtests Interoperability Test Events?  Classical Conformance and Interoperability tests: IPv6, SIGTRAN, SIP, VoIP, ENUM…DSL, SMS-MMS  Proof of concept and performance evaluation (early phase): RFID, IRAP, Powerline, UWB, NGN  Services interworking: OSA/Parlay API and Web Services, ebXML, XAdES and PKI  Benchmark, Contest, Deployment and Portability: Speech Quality, GRID with N-Queens contest, J2ME…

5 INTEROPERABILTY and CONFORMANCE TESTING TOGETHER

6 ETSI Plugtests  Services  “Interop”, “Bake-off”, “Plugtests” – they are all the same  Improve both quality and interoperability  Debug fast all together  Complementary to standardisation  Can be in the early process.

7 ETSI Plugtests  Services  It is an ETSI Service : Neutral and Open to all other organizations and standards  57 events in +4 years, ~3000 engineers, ~1000 Companies and very good rate of usefulness  no sales, no marketing, no observer attend the meetings

8 What is Plugtests ?  5 Staff coordinating big events with experts from ETSI  Pragmatic extended interoperability tests  Not a laboratory, no certification  Come & Test is our leitmotiv  Saving time !
