SIST ES 201 873-6 V4.9.1:2017

• 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: JavaTM 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 V4.9.1:2017 is a Slovenian national adoption of the ETSI ES 201 873-6 standard, focusing on Methods for Testing and Specification (MTS), specifically for the TTCN-3 Control Interface (TCI). This document specifies how the TTCN-3 control interfaces should be implemented within TTCN-3 test systems used for standardized testing in telecommunication and IT environments.

The TCI standardizes the interface between different parts of a TTCN-3 test system and its host platform, providing a highly interoperable method for test management, test component control, as well as data encoding and decoding. The TTCN-3 Control Interface (TCI) is defined in a language-independent way using the CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) and further mapped to popular programming languages such as Java, ANSI C, C++, XML, and C#.

Key Topics

• Control Interface Specification: The standard defines the architecture and operational scope for the TTCN-3 control interface, including management, logging, and communication support.
• Language Independence: TCI interfaces are specified abstractly using CORBA IDL, ensuring they are not bound to any particular implementation language.
• Component Handling: Guidelines for initializing, connecting, mapping, and terminating test components in a TTCN-3 test system.
• Data Types and Encoding: Describes the abstract data types and encoding/decoding operations necessary for effective communication between the test system and the platform.
• Test Management: Operative functions for starting and stopping test cases, managing module parameters, and reporting test results.
• Logging and Error Handling: Interfaces to support robust logging and diagnostic reporting within the test execution environment.
• Entity Definitions: Clear separation between entities such as Test Management and Control (TMC), Coding and Decoding (CD), Component Handling (CH), and Test Logging (TL).

Applications

Implementing the TTCN-3 Control Interface (TCI) in test environments offers several practical benefits for organizations involved in telecommunications system testing and development:

• Platform Independence: Promotes interoperability and portability of test systems by leveraging standardized interfaces and language mappings.
• Streamlined Test Automation: Facilitates automation of complex test scenarios by providing consistent control, monitoring, and management of test entities and activities.
• Vendor-Neutral Integration: Ensures that test system components from different vendors can interoperate within a harmonized framework.
• Extensibility: By abstracting control interfaces, the standard allows for adaptation to emerging platforms and scripting languages.
• Efficient Debugging: With comprehensive logging, error reporting, and consistent data handling, debugging and maintaining complex test systems becomes more manageable.

This standard is widely adopted within telecommunication projects, network equipment certification, protocol compliance testing, and software quality assurance where TTCN-3 is the preferred testing language.
