Abstract

Due to immense competition in the market, mobile equipment vendors and service providers are faced with the challenge of delivering solutions early, way ahead of their competitors. Time-to-market pressures necessitate a carefully worked out test strategy for verifying and validating the correctness of mobile communication solutions. This paper outlines the various challenges that are faced in the protocol testing of mobile communication products. An evaluation of formal languages such as SDL and TTCN in the design, development and testing phases of such products is also included in the paper. The strategy employed in the testing of a 3G 1×EV-DV Base Station stack has been covered as a case study.
