Method for Generating Coordinating Messages for Distributed Test Scripts in Telecommunications Systems
Method for Generating Coordinating Messages for Distributed Test Scripts in Telecommunications Systems
Current approaches for generating tests for telecommunication systems produce scripts that execute a single sequence of actions that verify the implementation under test (IUT) has performed correctly. However, in recent years testing languages, such as TTCN, have been enhanced to facilitate the notion of concurrent testing. Where, a concurrent test script consists of a number of concurrent test components that interact to perform a particular test. This invention describes how to produce the co-ordination messages that are necessary to synchronise concurrent test components in order to check that an IUT exhibits the correct order of events. Note that we assume coordinating messages have a suitably small latency (delay), and the specification does not contain any race conditions.

Abstract
Current approaches for generating tests for telecommunication systems produce scripts that execute a single sequence of actions that verify the implementation under test (IUT) has performed correctly. However, in recent years testing languages, such as TTCN, have been enhanced to facilitate the notion of concurrent testing. Where, a concurrent test script consists of a number of concurrent test components that interact to perform a particular test. This invention describes how to produce the co-ordination messages that are necessary to synchronise concurrent test components in order to check that an IUT exhibits the correct order of events. Note that we assume coordinating messages have a suitably small latency (delay), and the specification does not contain any race conditions.
