ABSTRACT: This document replaces TA-NWT-001102.

This document presents the view of Telcordia on proposed generic requirements for test access and testing management using the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Management services and protocols. The functions described are applicable to operations and network systems that support remote testing.

This document provides preliminary descriptions of an information model to support an operations interface between a network management system and a managed system, for example, a Testing Operations System (TOS) and a Test System Controller (TSC).

The information model defined in this GR supports a corresponding subset of Transaction Language One (TL1) messages that are defined in GR-834, OTGR Section 12.4: Network Maintenance: Access and Testing Messages.

The object classes proposed here may be regarded as superclasses from which subclasses can be refined for specific applications. DDS Testing has been added to Issue 3, along with other clarifications.
