Advanced TTCN-3 Test Suite validation with Titan

Attila Kovács, Kristóf Szabados · 2015

As the size and complexity of large software systems continuously grow, so do their test systems.In today's telecommunication world, we have test systems which are comparable in complexity to that of the tested systems.Some of these test systems have to simulate millions of users, be as robust as the tested systems themselves and provide comparable performance.To be able to handle such testing needs, ETSI 1 developed the TTCN-3 programming language.TTCN-3 has proved to be very efficient for developing test systems for communication systems.In this article we present the results of analyzing the test software systems publicly available from www.ttcn-3.org.We show the issues that we have found on semantic level and on advanced code smell level.We also present some results on the test systems structural level.
