Overview

SIST ES 203 119-7 V1.1.1:2019 defines important extensions to the Test Description Language (TDL), specifically targeting extended test configurations to enhance test specification reusability. This standard, aligned with ETSI ES 203 119-7 V1.1.1, provides methods to instantiate and modify existing test configurations, facilitating efficient and maintainable testing processes in information technology and model-based testing (MBT) environments.

The extensions in this document enable test engineers and organizations to reuse and refine test configurations for complex systems without altering original configuration definitions. By introducing extended test configuration concepts and various test configuration operations, the standard builds a foundation for scalable, modular test descriptions essential for modern software and systems testing.

Key Topics

• Extended Test Configuration: Allows instantiation of existing test configurations within a new, “extended” configuration. Modifications can be made using dedicated operations, ensuring original configurations remain intact.
• Test Configuration Operations: Define actions that refine test configuration instances, including merging, renaming, hiding, or reassigning the roles of specific components.
  • Component merge enables the unification of compatible components.
  • Component alias supports renaming for clarity and disambiguation.
  • Component hide and role reassignment help tailor configurations to precise test needs.
• Unique Referencing: Through component and gate references, every component instance and gate can be uniquely identified even when configurations are reused multiple times.
• Meta-Model and Syntax Extensions: New elements and notation conventions are formally defined for tool implementation and diagrammatic representation.
• Flattening Transformation: Before a test configuration can be used in a test, it must be “flattened” to resolve all extensions and produce a concrete configuration containing all relevant component instances and connections.
• Seamless Integration: These extensions are designed to integrate with existing TDL meta-models and workflows, promoting backward compatibility and consistent test specification practices.

Applications

• Model-Based Testing (MBT): Supports advanced techniques for automating test generation by allowing reusable and customizable test configurations, increasing test coverage and efficiency.
• Large-Scale System Testing: Facilitates hierarchical and modular test configuration management, crucial for complex systems with recurring architecture patterns.
• Regression Testing: Enables easy adaptation of existing test configurations as systems evolve, reducing duplication and maintenance effort.
• Tool Interoperability: The consistent meta-model and concrete syntax extensions make implementation in automated testing tools and modeling environments straightforward.
• Educational and Training Use: By demonstrating advanced TDL usage, this standard supports training efforts in model-based specification and testing methodologies.

Related Standards

• ETSI ES 203 119-1: Defines the core abstract syntax and semantics of TDL.
• ETSI ES 203 119-2: Addresses the graphical syntax for representing TDL structures.
• ETSI ES 203 119-3: Specifies the exchange format for TDL, facilitating interoperability between tools and organizations.

These standards, in conjunction with SIST ES 203 119-7, form a comprehensive framework for standardized, reusable, and modular test description language practices, empowering organizations to optimize their testing strategies efficiently and systematically.

Keywords: Test Description Language, TDL, test configuration, configuration re-use, model-based testing, MBT, software testing, standardization, ETSI, SIST, UML, OCL, automated testing.
