SIST ES 201 873-6 V4.12.1:2020

• Abstract:

  The present document specifies the control interfaces for TTCN-3 test system implementations. The TTCN-3 Control; Interfaces provide a standardized adaptation for management, test component handling and encoding/decoding of a test; system to a particular test platform. The present document defines the interfaces as a set of operations independent of a; target language.; The interfaces are defined to be compatible with the TTCN-3 standard (see clause 2). The interface definition uses the; CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) to specify the TCI completely. Clauses 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 present; language mappings for this abstract specification to the target languages Java™, ANSI C, C++, XML and C#.; A summary of the IDL-based interface specification is provided in annex A.; NOTE: Java™ is the trade name of a programming language developed by Oracle Corporation. This information; is given for the convenience of users of the present document and does not constitute an endorsement by; ETSI of the programming language named. Equivalent programming languages may be used if they can; be shown to lead to the same results.

Overview

SIST ES 201 873-6 V4.12.1:2020 establishes the requirements and specifications for the TTCN-3 Control Interface (TCI) within the scope of Methods for Testing and Specification (MTS). TTCN-3, or Testing and Test Control Notation version 3, is a standardized language used widely in test automation for telecommunication systems and other domains where automated testing is essential. The document focuses on defining standardized control interfaces for TTCN-3 test systems, enabling systematic management, component handling, and encoding/decoding between abstract test descriptions and specific test platforms.

The standard employs the CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) to specify the TCI, maintaining compatibility with the TTCN-3 core standard while allowing language-independent implementation. Further, it provides language mappings for integrating TCI into Java, C, C++, XML, and C#, thus offering broad platform support and interoperability.

Key Topics

• TCI Structure and Interfaces:

  • Defines entities within TTCN-3 test systems, including test management, coding/decoding, and component handling.
  • Outlines the architecture and interfaces for managing and executing test cases, test components, logging, and encoding/decoding functions.

• IDL-based Interface Specification:

  • The TCI is specified using CORBA IDL, providing a platform-neutral and language-independent description.
  • Annex A summarizes the IDL reference for ease of implementation.

• Language Mappings:

  • Language-specific mappings are available for Java, ANSI C, C++, XML, and C#. This ensures that test tools and frameworks can adopt the standard regardless of their implementation language.

• Management and Component Handling:

  • Interfaces for test case management, including start, stop, parameter handling, and test status monitoring.
  • Component handling covers operations for creating, starting, stopping, connecting, and managing test components.

• Encoding/Decoding and Logging:

  • Standardized means for encoding and decoding test system data, ensuring consistent transformation between abstract data types and platform-specific representations.
  • Interfaces for detailed test cycle logging and error handling, contributing to traceability and debugging.

Applications

TTCN-3 Control Interface (TCI) as defined in SIST ES 201 873-6 V4.12.1:2020 is crucial in:

• Automated Test Systems:
  Simplifies the integration and control of automated test systems in telecommunications, IoT, and software verification environments.

• Cross-Platform Testing:
  Enables the implementation of interoperable test frameworks that can run on different languages and platforms, thanks to standardized interface definitions and language mappings.

• Test Management:
  Provides robust interfaces for managing complex test scenarios, reusable test components, and parameterized testing, increasing productivity and reliability.

• Decoupling Test Logic from Infrastructure:
  By defining abstract operations and data types, the TCI allows test logic to remain independent from the underlying platform, promoting easier migration and tool integration.

• Interoperability in Distributed Environments:
  Supports testing in large, distributed systems by facilitating reliable messaging, logging, and component synchronization through well-defined control interfaces.

Related Standards

• ETSI ES 201 873 Series:
  The TCI forms part of the broader TTCN-3 standards supporting conformance and interoperability testing in telecommunications.

• ISO/IEC 9646 & ITU-T X.290:
  General framework standards for test methods and protocols that align with the objectives of TTCN-3.

• Other MTS and TCI Standards:
  Related documents that specify different parts of Methods for Testing and Specification, offering further guidance for implementing TTCN-3 in specialized contexts.

• CORBA Standards:
  Since TCI uses CORBA IDL, related CORBA standards provide guidance on interface definition and distributed computing support.

By standardizing the TTCN-3 Control Interface, SIST ES 201 873-6 V4.12.1:2020 ensures efficient and future-proof implementation of test automation solutions, supporting the evolving needs of telecommunications and ICT industries.
