Hi Michael,

There have been some drafts on conformance tests,
but it's been made clear that IETF does not do
conformance test suites.  This might make sense
for another organization, perhaps.  

Cheers,

Lyndon

Hello,

Has there been any discussion on developing standardized SIGTRAN comformance

test suites similar to the Q.78x, TA-1004, NOF, etc. test suites?

There are surely test suites available from the many test gatherings that 
have taken place.

I appreciate the Q.78x documents as a supplement to understanding SS7 and
its 
apps.  A SIGTRAN suite of comformance documents would be similarly helpful
in 
understanding the SIGTRAN protocols.

Then there is the position of the service provider with respect to 
conformance suites.  They won't connect SS7 unless the conformance test
suite 
run by their operations is passed.  It is reasonable to assume that the same

position would be adopted by service providers connecting SIGTRAN protocols.

Service providers might be hesitant to adopt SIGTRAN without a standardized 
conformance suite.
