7 Implicit testing

3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS

For some GSM features conformance is not verified explicitly in the present document. This does not imply that correct functioning of these features is not essential, but that these are implicitly tested to a sufficient degree in other tests. Examples for implicitly tested features are frequency hopping and encryption.

It should be noted that for these features some aspects have to be and are explicitly tested, e.g. the ability to switch to frequency hopping or non-hopping, and the ability to change the encryption mode setting.
