Reasons of necessity of NGN testing
Growth of the manufactured equipment
nomenclature and software which realize
NGN functionality and appear a lot of unify
equipment (router with gateway functionality
and etc.)
Appear of new set of services which is
realized without changes of network and
independent of technologies
Absence of guarantee quality of network
performance compare with exist TDM

The approach of NGN testing
Functional Interop. testing – verification
the functionality on TM (EUT) and systemnetwork solutions (NUT) different vendors
for compatibility in accordance with basic
ITU-T Recs.
Service testing – testing the services on
scenarios “end-to-end” include call flow
testing and testing with exist provider’s
operation systems (Billing, OSS/BSS and
etc.)
QoS testing – testing the QoS parameters
and RACF functionality

ITU-T Rec. Q.3900 as a global
approach of testing
Purpose – determination Model network
as a basic solution for NGN testing
Model network – a network which simulates the
capabilities similar to those available in present
telecommunication networks, has a similar architecture
and
functionality
and

The global problems
• The service is realized under functionality and
technical capability for each of vendor’s equipment
(service depend on equipment)
• The similar services are realized on the different
telecom networks by different technologies and
different approaches
• Supplementary and universal services (NGN
services) under interwork process between
different service providers does not realize
(implement service scenario “end-to-end” could be
realize just only one network)

The scope of NGN service requirements template
(ITU-T Rec.NGN_service)
• Service definition, common service characteristics and service providing
principle, in point of view operator and customer include: short
description of service with imagine form of service (message, voice
transmission and etc.), principle of location service in telecom networks
and rules of customer’s access to the service, principle of service control
procedure: activation, configure, unsubscribing, statistic and tariffication
data
• Network requirements for providing service, include requirements to:
numbering, identification, subscriber’s profile control, type of codec,
parameters of QoS, security, and interworking with exist operators
systems (accouting, law full intercept and etc.)
• Architecture requirements and requirements to functional elements,
which are used for service realizing
• Equipment’s functional requirements
• Service scenario requirements
• Signaling protocols requirements for realizing service (call flow) International
