Abstract
It is well known that the development of ATSs and ETSs is time and cost intensive. This contribution provides practical experiences and results gained from a test suite development project in the context of today’s ATM protocols. In particular we discuss the problems and effort to develop and execute the BISUP and MTP test suites within B-ISDN based on corresponding N-ISDN tests. The consideration of our approach and observations should help during the production and execution of related protocol conformance tests. We have outlined basic ideas on how to underpin methodologically the ATS migration process.
