An Approach to TTCN-Based Test Execution
Yamin Wang, Jianping Wu, Ruibing Hao · 1995
Test execution plays an important role in the protocol conformance testing system. We can classify existing test execution methods into two types: Compiling-based Test Execution and Interpreting-based Test Execution. This paper gives an approach to test execution based on a formal test suite specification given in TTCN. In our protocol conformance testing system, the test suites in TTCN are executed directly by parallel interpreting according to the operational semantics of TTCN. This method is protocol independent and can obtain more efficient test execution than other methods. Moreover, this paper also presents an overview of our protocol conformance testing system and the structure design of the TTCN-based Test Execution implementation.
