7 Final draft ETSI ES 202 781 V1.9.1 (2022-02)
1 Scope
The present document defines the Configuration and Deployment Support package of TTCN-3. TTCN-3 can be used
for the specification of all types of reactive system tests over a variety of communication ports. Typical areas of
application are protocol testing (including mobile and Internet protocols), service testing (including supplementary
services), module testing, testing of APIs, etc. TTCN-3 is not restricted to conformance testing and can be used for
many other kinds of testing including interoperability, robustness, regression, system and integration testing. The
specification of test suites for physical layer protocols is outside the scope of the present document.
TTCN-3 packages are intended to define additional TTCN-3 concepts, which are not mandatory as concepts in the
TTCN-3 core language, but which are optional as part of a package which is suited for dedicated applications and/or
usages of TTCN-3.This package defines the TTCN-3 support for static test configurations.
While the design of TTCN-3 package has taken into account the consistency of a combined usage of the core language
with a number of packages, the concrete usages of and guidelines for this package in combination with other packages
is outside the scope of the present document.2 References
