5G-EMERGE Global Test Register

Source: Global Test List — TVR 5G-Emerge v3 (master test registry)

This document lists all Phase 2 tests across Strands 2–6, drawn directly from the Global Test List. For E2E scenario definitions see E2E Scenarios. For KPI definitions see Framework §6.

Service Level Tests

The 16 service-level scenarios have been extracted to their own page: Service-Level Scenarios.

Strand 2 — Cross-Infrastructure Tests (WP 2.1)

13 E2E service-level tests performed against the RAI, SES, EBU, and Maritime testbeds. These correspond directly to TVR Appendix 1 performable scenarios. Scenarios I and C.1 are present in the TVR but absent from GTL v3 — see docs/issues-and-roadmap.md (correction #4).

Note: GTL v3 does not populate the Responsible, Nature, Test Level, or KPI columns for any Strand 2 test — see docs/issues-and-roadmap.md (correction #1).
