7 Implicit testing

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.
It should be noted that for these features some aspects have to be and are explicitly tested, e.g. the ability to switch between 3v and 5v operation.
Some SIM features will be explicitly tested as result of other tests. These should be identified for the following reason:
– To identify the areas of overlap and thus provide a more efficient testing.
