The most user-friendlyconformance test solution

Conformance testing is much more than an industryrequirement; rigorous device certifcation is essential toensure that current and next generation wireless devices

meet the expectations of today’s end-users.

Chipset and device manufacturers across the globeuse Anite’s market-leading conformance test solutionto verify that their mobile devices comply with thelatest industry standards. Anite’s Conformance Toolsetsupports a complete portfolio of test cases covering all3GPP technologies, from GSM through to LTE-Advanced.

Users o Conormance Toolset beneft rom its ease-o-use, stability, reliability, rigorous implementation and leadingtest case coverage. This enables early issue identifcationin the pre-conformance stage of testing and acceleratesmarket introduction of new mobile devices.

3/8

Anite has a strong track record of delivering the most

comprehensive coverage o the GCF and PTCRB certifcation

requirements, minimising the amount of testing a Conformance

Toolset user needs to perform on alternative test platforms.

Conformance Toolset supports a complete portfolio of testcases for all GSM-evolved technologies, from GSM through

HSPA+ up to the very latest LTE-Advanced and IMS test cases,

enabling devices to be fully tested on a single test system.

Anite’s leading roadmap allows Conformance Toolset users to

perform conformance testing earlier in the development cycle.

Precise, stable and reliable

Conformance Toolset is widely recognised as the most stableand reliable conformance test solution available, minimising

the amount of time it takes to successfully test a device.

Furthermore, Anite’s rigorous test case implementation

enables users to identify device issues that are often

undetected on competitor’s test platforms.

Always up-to-date

Quarterly software releases, each fully revalidated by bothGCF and PTCRB, ensure regular access to a complete portfolio

of up-to-date test cases, including the latest industry-

approved change requests. A continual programme of software

enhancements, focusing on productivity and ease-of-use, helps

to maintain Conformance Toolset’s position as the most user-

friendly conformance test solution. Conformance Toolset users

also have access to up-to-date test case status information,

including the current GCF/PTCRB requirements, Anite validation

status and details of any known issues. This allows users tointelligently construct test campaigns and minimise the time

spent confguring test cases or debugging already known issues.

Offers leading GCF and PTCRB protocolconformance test case coverage

Automation and remote control

Unattended campaign execution is supported by allowing the

MMI and AT commands issued by test cases, along with custom

commands entered by users, to be routed either directly tothe device under test or to external applications or hardware.

In addition, the Anite Remote Control Interface supported by

Conformance Toolset allows the execution of test cases to be

controlled by third-party software. Together, these features

provide a high degree o exibility when integrating Conormance

Toolset into proprietary automated test environments.

Modular platorm and exible licensing

Licences may be shared across test systems, or even across

sites, allowing cost-effective use of assets. Anite’s modular

product structure allows the test system capabilities to be

extended at any point. For example, additional signalling units

or other Anite test solutions such as Development Toolset

and SAS can be easily added to the system at a later date. The

modular nature of Anite’s test systems also allows them to

be split up into smaller separate systems with fewer cells, or

combined together into a single larger test system to run morecomplex test scenarios.

Future-proof test solution

The introduction of LTE and Carrier Aggregation has led to an

explosion in the number of frequency bands, with yet more

being defned each quarter by 3GPP. FDD and/or TDD versions

of Conformance Toolset test case batches include all current

and future frequency bands supported by the test platform,making them a future-proof and cost-effective investment.

Experts in protocol testing

Chipset vendor collaborations

Anite collaborates closely with all leading chipset

manufacturers, helping them identify and resolve chipset

issues via early pre-conformance testing. This ensures that

Conformance Toolset software releases are fully regression-

tested against those chipsets and minimises the number of

issues found in devices based on the same chipsets. This makes

Conformance Toolset the test solution of choice for leading

chipset vendors, and when Conformance Toolset is also used

for device testing the likelihood of swift issue resolution by

the chipset vendor is therefore maximised.

Protocol testing expertise

Anite has a long track record in protocol testing, extending

back to the introduction of GSM. This long-term focus on

protocol testing has resulted in Anite contributing with more

LTE test case verifcation submissions to 3GPP RAN5 than

all other vendors have combined. Users beneft rom this

level of expertise through superior quality test cases, leading

availability of test cases for new features, and a supportorganisation that is quickly able to identify and resolve any

issues encountered. Anite’s regional support teams are on

hand to provide local on-site support when required, and a new

helpdesk management system allows users to raise and track

the progress of support issues themselves. This continued

emphasis on customer services has led users to rate Anite best-

in-class for customer support in successive satisfaction surveys.

Intuitive and easy to use

Globally recognised as the easiest to use conformance test

solution on the market, Conformance Toolset users spend less

time confguring test campaigns, compiling and analysing test

results and debugging test case failures than they would using

an alternative solution. Conformance Toolset offers:

A unifed user interace

Conformance Toolset’s easy-to-use graphical user interface

supports all test case types and technologies. It offers

numerous eatures including device confguration, campaign

management, parameter management, results reporting and

campaign automation.

Comprehensive logging capabilities

The Log Viewer logs all messages exchanged between the

device and network simulator. Its advanced features, such as

PDU decoding, protocol layer fltering and links to TTCN source

code enable quick and easy analysis of results and debugging of

test case failures.

TTCN-3 editor

The integrated TTCN-3 editor allows viewing and/or modifcationo the supplied TTCN-3 source code, and its links to the Anite Log

Viewer enable debugging from messages in the generated log

fles to the corresponding test steps in the TTCN-3 code.

Simplifed parameter management

Conormance Toolset simplifes the confguration and

management of hundreds of applicable test case PICS/PIXIT

parameters via an embedded Parameter Editor. Features such

as automatic device capability enquiries and sophisticatedimport/export options make the task of setting, updating and

comparing parameter values effortless.

Real-time trace

Messages exchanged between the device and test system are

displayed in real-time during test case execution, enabling users

to monitor test case progress and immediately identify issues.

Report generator

Conformance Toolset includes a number of reports for

summarising the results obtained during device testing. It also

provides the ability to easily create new Test Plans based on

report output.

GCF and PTCRB validated test cases

Leading mobile network operators require mobile devices to be certifed by either the Global Certifcation Forum (GCF) or the

PCS Type Certifcation Review Board (PTCRB) prior to market introduction. All test cases supported by Conormance Toolset are

validated by an independent test laboratory and approved by both GCF and PTCRB or device certifcation testing.
