SIST ES 201 873-6 V 3.4.1:2009

Methods for Testing and Specification (MTS) - The Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 - Part 6: TTCN-3 Control Interface (TCI)

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 and 9 present language mappings for this abstract specification to the target languages Java and ANSI C. A summary of the IDL-based interface specification is provided in annex A.
