| Question Q/17 - Testing Languages, Methodologies and Framework |
(continuation of Questions 19/17 and 20/17 studied during 2001-2004)
1. Motivation
It is required to carry out a study in the area of testing languages and testing methodology in the context of modern software testing needs. In particular it is required to address TTCN and all testing issues of relevance to ITU-T.
Question 20/17 is responsible for the following existing Recommendations:
- ITU-T Recommendations X.290 (1995), OSI Conformance testing methodology and framework for protocol Recommendations
for ITU-T applications � General concepts.
- ITU-T Recommendations X.291 (1995), OSI Conformance testing methodology and framework for protocol Recommendations
for ITU-T applications � Abstract test suite specification.
- ITU-T Recommendations X.292 (2002), OSI Conformance testing methodology and framework for protocol Recommendations
for ITU-T applications � Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN-2++).
- ITU-T Recommendations X.293 (1995), OSI Conformance testing methodology and framework for protocol Recommendations
for ITU-T applications � Test realization.
- ITU-T Recommendations X.294 (1995), OSI Conformance testing methodology and framework for protocol Recommendations
for ITU-T applications � Requirements on test laboratories and clients for the conformance assessment process.
- ITU-T Recommendations X.295 (1995), OSI Conformance testing methodology and framework for protocol Recommendations
for ITU-T applications � Protocol profile test specification.
- ITU-T Recommendations X.296 (1995), OSI Conformance testing methodology and framework for protocol Recommendations
for ITU-T applications � Implementation conformance statements.
- ITU-T Recommendation Z.140 (2003), Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3): Core language.
- ITU-T Recommendation Z.141 (2003), Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3): Tabular presentation
format.
- ITU-T Recommendation Z.142 (2003), Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3): Graphical presentation
format.
These Recommendations will need to be maintained and updated when appropriate. New Recommendations or other documentation may be identified, to meet the needs of users in ITU, the industry, and other organizations such as the OMG.
2. Question
a) What extensions or enhancements to existing Recommendations on protocol testing and testing languages based on formal models are required to meet evolving needs of
users ?
b) What new Recommendations, Supplements or other provisions are required (if any) to define or revise the definitions of new or existing testing languages, methodologies and
frameworks ?
3. Tasks
The overall objective of this Question is to issue new and revised Recommendations under each area of responsibility. Specific task objectives include:
a) Progress work in the area of Testing and Test Control Notation (TTCN).
b) Progress work on testing languages and conformance testing based on formal models.
c) Assist the relevant Questions in the development of a TTCN UML profile.
d) Progress work in the area of UML Testing profile.
e) Address the issues relevant to the Open Systems Interconnection conformance testing methodology and framework.
f) Develop interoperability testing framework and methodology.
g) Develop performance testing framework and methodology.
