Overview

SIST ES 203 119-5 V1.1.1:2019 defines how the concepts of the Test Description Language (TDL) meta-model are mapped to OMG® Unified Modeling Language® (UML®) to create a dedicated UML Profile for TDL, known as UP4TDL. By specifying a formal mapping between TDL and UML elements, this standard enables integration of test modeling capabilities within the widely used UML ecosystem, enhancing the interoperability and tool support for test specification and execution.

This standard is published by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) and is technically aligned with ETSI ES 203 119-5 V1.1.1. UP4TDL is designed to support system testing, formal verification, and model-driven engineering through standardized test models.

Key Topics

• TDL Meta-Model Mapping: Details the approach to represent key TDL meta-model concepts as UML stereotypes and packages within a dedicated profile.
• UML Profile Structure: Outlines how the UP4TDL profile organizes TDL stereotypes, including foundational packages for data, behavior, configuration, and timing.
• Stereotypes and Extensions: Explains how TDL elements like data types, test objectives, annotations, and behaviors are extended or mapped to UML meta-classes and stereotypes for seamless integration.
• Test Data and Behavior Representation: Describes data definition, use, and behavior mapping (e.g., test objectives, configuration, combined and atomic behavior) to suitable UML constructs.
• Model-to-Model Transformation Guidance: Provides recommendations for ensuring the semantic alignment between TDL and UML during transformations.
• Normative References: Establishes dependencies on other standards, especially ETI ES 203 119-1 (TDL syntax and semantics) and OMG UML Superstructure.

Applications

Adopting the UML Profile for TDL (UP4TDL) brings several practical advantages:

• Test Model Interoperability: Facilitates the exchange and reuse of formal test descriptions between different modeling and testing tools that support UML profiles.
• Model-Driven Testing: Allows organizations to leverage UML tools for creating, managing, and executing TDL-based test specifications, supporting automation and consistency.
• System and Software Conformance Testing: Supports rigorous test definition and validation processes for complex systems, including communications equipment, embedded devices, and IT infrastructure.
• Enhanced Documentation and Traceability: Provides a standardized, graphical way to document test logic, data, and objectives directly linked to system models.
• Integration with UML Tooling: Enables direct use of UP4TDL within established UML modeling environments, streamlining the workflow for organizations already using UML for software and systems design.

Related Standards

• ETSI ES 203 119-1: Defines the abstract syntax and semantics of TDL, foundational for the UP4TDL mapping.
• OMG UML Superstructure (2.4.1): The underlying framework for UML meta-models and profile mechanisms.
• Other Parts of the TDL Standard Series: Including test architecture, semantics, and further profiles for specialized usage.
• ISO/IEC 19505 (UML Standard): Provides the international framework for UML usage in software and systems engineering.

Conclusion

SIST ES 203 119-5 V1.1.1:2019 presents a crucial framework for bridging standardized test description languages and model-driven engineering with the power and ubiquity of UML. By mapping TDL meta-model concepts to UML through UP4TDL, organizations gain a formal, interoperable, and tool-supported approach to system and software testing, enhancing quality, efficiency, and compliance within their development and verification processes.

4 Structure of the UML Profile for TDL
The stereotypes representing concepts from the Foundation section of the TDL meta-model are directly stored in the
UP4TDL Profile, while other concepts are stored in various additional included Packages.

The following clauses describe the content of each package. The subclauses describe how the TDL meta-model
elements can be mapped to UML.

5 Foundation
5.1 Overview
Most concepts of the Foundation Package are directly mapped to UML meta-classes. Exceptions are:
• TDL::Element : a stereotype is created to allow elements to have Annotations;
• TDL::Annotations and TDL::TestObjective for which there is no equivalent concept in UML.

None.
Model to Model transformation advice
• In UML, an ElementImport can import exactly one element. This implies that for one TDL::ElementImport,
the equivalent model in UP4TDL can have several UML::ElementImport

4 Structure of the UML Profile for TDL
The stereotypes representing concepts from the Foundation section of the TDL meta-model are directly stored in the
UP4TDL Profile, while other concepts are stored in various additional included Packages.

Figure 4.1: Structure of UMLProfile4TDL
The following clauses describe the content of each package. The subclauses describe how the TDL meta-model
elements can be mapped to UML.

9 ETSI ES 203 119-5 V1.1.1 (2018-05)
5 Foundation
5.1 Overview
Most concepts of the Foundation Package are directly mapped to UML meta-classes. Exceptions are:
� TDL::Element : a stereotype is created to allow elements to have Annotations;
� TDL::Annotations and TDL::TestObjective for which there is no equivalent concept in UML.

Constraints

� Direct mapping without a stereotype to UML::ElementImport
ETSI
11 ETSI ES 203 119-5 V1.1.1 (2018-05)

Model to Model transformation advice
� In UML, an ElementImport can import exactly one element. This implies that for one TDL::ElementImport,
the equivalent model in UP4TDL can have several UML::ElementImport
5.7 Comment
