Autolink — Putting SDL-based test generation into practice
Michael Schmitt, Alan R. Ek, Jens Grabowski, Dieter Hogrefe, Beat Koch · 1998
Autolink is a tool for automatic test generation. It allows to generate TTCN test suites based on a given SDL specification and MSC requirements. The first big challenge for Autolink was the creation of a test suite for the Intelligent Network Application Protocol at ETSI. In this paper we discuss our experience in applying Autolink to a real-life protocol and the improvements of Autolink which were developed during this project. We also present future enhancements which will further ease the work of test suite developers.
