The ETSI test suite AtsNGAP and AtsNAS are collocated within the same organizational repository space on the ETSI Forge platform, both residing under the int/5g-core group. AtsNGAP (available at forge.etsi.org/rep/int/5g-core/ngap) covers conformance testing of the Next Generation Application Protocol, while AtsNAS (forge.etsi.org/rep/int/5g-core/nas) addresses the Non-Access Stratum protocol layer. Their collocation under the shared 5g-core namespace reflects their complementary roles in 5G Core network testing — NGAP handling the interface between the RAN and the 5G Core (N2 interface), and NAS governing the signaling between the UE and the core network. This shared repository grouping facilitates coordinated development and version alignment between the two test suites, as both protocols are tightly coupled in end-to-end 5G call flows.
