1 Scope
The purpose of the present document is to provide Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) for the
conformance test suite for using XML and JSON Schema with TTCN-3 as defined in ETSI ES 201 873-1 [5] in
compliance with the relevant guidance given in the pro forma for TTCN-3 reference test suite ETSI TS 102 995 [4]. In
the present document only XML and JSON related features, specified in ETSI ES 201 873-9 [1] and ETSI
ES 201 873-11 [6] have been considered, but not the core language features (see ETSI ES 201 873-1 [5]), nor tool
implementation (see ETSI ES 201 873-5 [i.2] and ETSI ES 201 873-6 [i.3]), language mapping (see ETSI
ES 201 873-7 [i.4] and ETSI ES 201 873-8 [i.5]) and language extension (see e.g. ETSI ES 202 781 [i.6], ETSI
ES 202 784 [i.7] and ETSI ES 202 785 [i.8]) aspects.
