Key Objectives:

• Pushing more testing back into Simulator domain, where turn-around time is much shorter and UE Supplier can handle at their own development site

• Reducing the number of problems that end up going into the field

PSD4-1SG100005-00 10

What is Conformance Testing?

Mobile communications standards (e.g. GSM, W-CDMA) define the

behaviour of the phone and the network in every operational situation.

The aim of „Conformance Testing‟ is to make sure the phone behaves

according to the standard in every operational situation

Why is Conformance Testing important?

Because operators and infra-vendors rely on mobiles properly obeying

the standard, non-compliant phones cause problems if they get onto

networks – especially when new features and services are introduced

and the software in the base stations and network infrastructure is not

mature.
