scope:

The present document proposes a proforma for creating ICS, Test Purposes, and TTCN-3 test cases to assess compliance of TTCN-3 tools to TTCN-3 core language including also an estimate for integrating tool vendor tests into the framework. The present document has been developed to provide the essential structure, naming, style, etc. information to develop conformance test specifications for the TTCN-3 language. In the present document only the core language features, specified in ES 201 873-1 [1] have been considered but not the tool implementation (see [i.1] and [i.2]), language mapping (see [i.3], [i.4] and [i.5]) and language extension (see e.g. [i.6], [i.7]and [i.8]) aspects. The test notation used in the ATS attached in a zipped file is in TTCN-3 and it is part of the present document.

The following test specification - and design considerations can be found in the body of the present document:

• the overall test suite structure;

• the testing architecture;

• the test methods and port definitions;

• the test configurations;

• the design principles, assumptions, and used interfaces to the TTCN3 tester (System Simulator);

• TTCN styles and conventions;

• the language ICS (Implementation Conformance Statement);

• the partial Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (IXIT) proforma;

• the Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP);

• the modules containing the TTCN-3 ATS.

Annex A provides the language ICS (Implementation Conformance Statement).

Annex B provides the Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP). Annex C provides the partial Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (IXIT) Proforma of the ATS.

Annex D provides the Testing and Test Control Notation (TTCN-3) part of the ATS.
