User programmable test arrangement for a telecommunications network

摘要

A telecommunications operation support facility is arranged so that a user may easily build and/or update a program implementing a test strategy for testing a special services circuit without having to consider certain aspects that make the strategy complex. Such aspects include, inter alia, the configuration of the section of the special service circuit that is to be tested and the "vintage" of a remote test system which provides a way of accessing the section from a remote test point.
