Introduction

This part specifies the MAC Abstract Test Suite (ATS). Further, this part:

• Defines specific terms relevant to the MAC ATS

• Discusses test selection criteria

• Provides naming conventions for ATS Test Groups and Test Cases.

The ATS is the basis for evaluating an implementation's conformance to the MAC procedures defined in Part 402.
