Test development

DTG test suites are the only UK industry-approved solution for demonstrating conformance to the requirements of the UK’s ‘digital tick’ certification mark and the Freeview, Freeview HD and Freesat trademarks, and for international platforms.

The DTG’s test development is based on technical excellence. Starting from platform specifications (such as the D-Book) the DTG’s core team of test suite development specialists identify functional features and define a set of test vectors to test those features in real-world scenarios.

Test streams are created using a number of existing tools optimised for test production. The flexibility of these tools allows staff to repurpose streams for various platforms without affecting the functionality being tested, reducing the cost of verification and validation of new platforms.

Along with test streams the test development team provides a number of support documents. For receiver developers the test house provides descriptions of the test vectors so that faults can be quickly traced and fixed. Operator instructions and proforma report sheets are also provided for test lab use.
