Testing of eSIM Profile Management

Embedded Subscriber Identification Module (eSIM) is a SIM standard that allows re-programmability and remote activation. It gives end users the ability to switch between the operators without getting a new SIM card, that is, it reduces the mechanical effort required to change the SIM card as its directly embedded into the device. Profile Management is a feature of eSIM for Consumer Solution that allows end users to manage the profiles using the Local User Interface. Profile Management is carried out using ES10c interface and includes add profile, enable profile, disable profile, delete profile, set/edit nickname, and list profile. The main objective of this paper is to test the local profile management of eSIM. This is carried out by, first setting up a testing environment, developing scenarios and implementing the scenarios in test bench. The results obtained are then validated to see if the required functionality is met before making the product available to the entire world.
