NOTSCO: ONE TOUCH SWITCHING TEST PLATFORM

This site provides an unofficial, independent, free, test environment for One
Touch Switching development.

 * Send customised match requests, and receive responses.
 * Set up customised match responses, including error responses.
 * Send and receive switching order messages.
 * Send deliberately bad, adversarial, or edge case, messages for error
   checking.
 * See logs (for the day), with detailed syntax checking report, of messages
   sent and received, with over 150 separate tests for message syntax and
   content.
 * Paste JSON to this site to check individual messages, e.g. those received or
   sent elsewhere which you wish to check.
 * Updated with new tests and checks and new message/response options as they
   come to light, and when TOTSCO issue bulletins or clarify matters.
 * Can be used for testing at all levels, from basic API and message passing to
   top level order journey and integration tests, as well as incremental
   development testing.

If you are not a UK communications provider with consumers as customers, this
site is not for you.


WHY WOULD SOMEONE USE THIS?

Under OFCOM General Conditions, One Touch Switching is mandatory for all UK
fixed broadband and fixed telephony providers with consumer customers, even if
just retail providers of someone else's service.

One Touch Switching is managed by TOTSCO Ltd. But at this point their simulator
seems not to be fit for purpose, and does not follow the OTS specification even
for simple things like the URL paths used (see blog post). This site is designed
to provide an easy to use, useful, self service platform, with no need to book a
test slot. It means it can be used to test as you go during development if you
want. It should be useful to any CP that is developing One Touch Switching
(before you go on to TOTSCO testing). It may also be useful to CPs that have
already developed their One Touch Switching that want to check against an
external test system.

We have tried to follow the spec, let us know if you think there is any error.
Please bear in mind the specifications are woolly at best. We have tried to
reference the specification as much as possible, but some is based on examples,
clarifications, bulkletins, and messages actually seen from TOTSCO. We're happy
to take on suggestions in improving our checking.

This service is provided free of charge, and sponsored by FireBrick. It is not
affiliated with, or endorsed by, TOTSCO Ltd.

To start using this service, enter your email address at your CP, and you will
be emailed a link.
