1 Europe s Premier Software Testing Event Stockholmsmässan, Sweden Testing For Real, Testing For Now Evolution of New Feature Verification in 3G Networks Michael Monoghan, LM Ericsson Ltd,. Ireland
2 Evolution of new feature verification in 3G Networks Eurostar Stockholm, December 2009 Michael Monaghan, LM Ericsson (Ireland) Ltd
3 Short overview of LM Ericsson Founded 1876, Stockholm, Sweden Presence in 175 countries > 75,000 employees ~24,000 patents > 40% of all mobile traffic passes through Ericsson networks Ericsson supports networks which serve > 1 billion subscribers Business Units Networks Multimedia Global Services Sony Ericsson In this presentation, we will visit the 3G Mobile Network Development area 3G refers to 3 rd Generation, a family of standards for wireless communication A glossary of terms appears at the end of this presentation
4 Feature Verification in 3G Networks The scenario Very complex systems Very complex features Very difficult to recreate real world environment Many levels of test from block test to complex network test Many tools needed The aim To verify that features behave according to requirements To make a quality statement about new features, so a decision can be made about whether to release them To satisfy Time to Market and cost goals for the feature
5 Feature Verification in 3G Networks EM OSS-RC RNC RBS RXI EM Operations Support System Radio & Core Radio Network Controller Radio Base Station Radio Network Integrator Element Manager Element management WCDMA: Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, an air interface standard

7 Major Advances in Verification of 3G Network Features Evolution from Function Based to Feature Based Verification More generic development leads to verification savings Evolution of Feature Verification Looking to the Future Summary
8 Advances in RNC Feature Verification Function Test Generic Design/Test Strategy FT to FV Move Parallel Testing Future FT: Function Test FV: Feature Verification
9 Function Test Function Test RNC verification was done from a functional viewpoint Several functional teams triggered the same test case and then checked one part of the result A test case most often consists of Setting up a particular type of call (Control Plane) Sending data (User Plane) Moving the phone (Mobility)
10 Function Test Function Test Mobility Team Control Plane Team User Plane Team Feature1 Mobility User Plane Feature2 Mobility Control Plane Feature3 Control Plane User Plane Feature4 Mobility Control Plane Feature5 Mobility Control Plane User Plane
11 Function Test Function Test Small area of expertise for each engineer Little feature overview knowledge in verification Led to rigid test organisations and verification projects
12 Feature Based Verification FT to FV Move Verification based on Use Cases Verify features end to end Verify each Use Case in the most suitable environment Many challenges had to be overcome
13 Feature Verification FT to FV Move Mobility Team Control Plane Team User Plane Team Feature1 Mobility User Plane Feature2 Mobility Control Plane Feature3 Control Plane User Plane Feature4 Mobility Control Plane Feature5 Mobility Control Plane User Plane
14 Feature Based Verification FT to FV Move Feature Verification has led to significant cost savings Very responsive and flexible test organisation An enabler for a feature based release strategy
15 Feature Based Verification FT to FV Move Feature Verification, an evaluation: Feature #TCs Cost per Test Case (hours) Total Cost (hours) #TCs Cost per Test Case Feature (Avg 14) Total Cost (hours) % saving!! Function Test Feature Verification
16 RAB (Radio Access Bearer) Concept Generic Design/ Test Strategy Data Data Speech plus data Speech plus data Speech Speech
17 Generic Design/Test Strategy Generic Design/ Test Strategy Market pressure for many radio connection combinations e.g. different interactive packet RAB rates and combinations Development began to be based on generic code units which made it easier to introduce new RAB rates and combinations In P6 the number of RAB combinations exploded : (13 in P3, 18 in P4, 39 in P5), > 70 in P6, Not possible to verify all transitions SP64 CS Streaming Speech SPHS Int. 128/384 Int. 384/384 SRB Int. 128/128 Int. 384/128 Other int. RAB state Int. 64/ /64 384/64 Int. 64/128 PS Streaming+Int 8/8 UDI (CS64) SP0 64/64 UDI+Int. 8/8 HS Int. FACH SRB
18 Generic Test Strategy Generic Design/ Test Strategy Test strategy was to verify the generic code once and then run a greatly reduced test scope on new RABs/RAB Combinations going forward Reduced scope testing based on RAB type groups
19 Generic Test Strategy Savings Generic Design/ Test Strategy Feature Pre-Generic (including all error and exception TCs) Generic Test Principle 1 (Removal of error and exception TC) Generic Test Principle 2 (Rab type groups) Generic Test Principle 3 (Some functions moved outside FV) Generic Test Principle 4 (Functional based changes costs removed) Feature2 ~ 196 TC 96 TC (-100) 88 TC (-8) 58 TC (-30) 43 TC (-15) ~ Exe cost 1764 hours ~ Exe cost 864 hours ~ Exe cost 792 hours ~ Exe cost 522 hours ~ Exe cost 387 hours 79% saving!
20 Generic Test Strategy Effectiveness Generic Design/ Test Strategy Feature #TCs run in RNC Feature Verification Faults found by RNC Feature Verification Faults found by IODT (Mobile phone Verification) Faults found by RAN I&V Slipthrough analysis to RAN I&V Feature Analysis: Same faults would have been found in RNC but testing was done in parallel Actual TRs on feature Analysis: 1 due to tools issues, 1 due to intro of fault after test case had been run. Generic test is very effective when applied correctly
21 More Demanding Environment Parallel Testing releases per year Market demand for many and more complex features (Mobile Broadband) Continuous improvements in Time To Market required Need for continuous improvements in operational excellence Need to streamline verification further: Introduce more parallel testing Minimize repetition in testing at all levels Maximise test effectiveness
22 Parallel Testing Parallel Testing RNC node test work more closely with higher layer test organisations Form a RAN Level Joint Test team with participation from network nodes (RNC, RBS) and RAN Make Phased Deliveries for key features Split scope of feature test between RAN and nodes
23 Node/Subsystem I&V Integration Node/ Subsystem I&V Merge Subsystem I&V is a very useful, low cost and under-utilised test environment Was Best Effort/Happy Test Integration of test activities means node level TCs are passed in a Subsystem I&V environment Improves verification lead times at RNC node level Reduces repetition between Subsystem and RNC test documentation and execution Need to minimise quality risk to RNC and Subsystem
24 Maximise Test Effectiveness Future Merge of RNC node feature verification with RAN feature verification Pass RAN level test cases in a subsystem verification environment Remove RNC node verification as a layer of verification Eurostar conference Ericsson verification problems are industry-wide We compare favourably with other companies in many respects However there are some methodologies we should study more Risk Based Test Case Selection Each test case ranked by likelihood and impact Trial was inconclusive Estimate number of remaining faults Tools exist which predict number of latent faults in a feature Too much emphasis now on slip-through Preventive Testing
25 Summary Summary We have come a long way Time pressure will continue to mount Borders between layers of the development process are being broken down
