  • Testing tools in an intelligent network system
    Patent number: 5737517
    Abstract: Service Control Point (SCP) and Service Data Point (SDP) software modules within an Intelligent Network telecommunications system are function tested using a UNIX environment. Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) messages are generated using a simulator and transported over a Local Area Network (LAN) such as Ethernet. TCAP messages are encapsulated using Transmission Control Point/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) packets and transported over the Ethernet. A LAN card is installed on the SCP or SDP to interface with the Ethernet in order to receive the transmitted encapsulated TCAP messages. Alternatively, UNIX based SCP or SDP software modules are loaded onto a UNIX based work-station and receive the transmitted encapsulated TCAP messages over the Ethernet. Resulting TCAP messages generated by the software modules are compared against the expected data and the functionality of the software modules is accordingly function tested.
