A New Test Sequence Generation Method for Interoperability Testing

A method for generating test sequences for interoperability testing of communication systems is proposed. In the proposed method, the system state graph, which shows behaviours of the whole system, is generated from protocol specifications, and test sequences that confirm each transition and the state based on this graph are generated. The method is characterized in that the states of individual processes are confirmed, considering independency of the two processes, which is a characteristic of the interoperability testing. An application for a simple protocol with a retransmission mechanism shows that we can improve testing reliability in interoperability testing. Using this method is expected to decrease cost for generating test sequences. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
