Abstract

The basis of distributed system conformance testing is to test the conformance of each entity with its standard. This paper addresses the approach to entity conformance testing based on concurrent TTCN. First a preliminary framework for entity conformance testing is introduced and a specification model CEBE is presented. Then a test generation method, which could directly derive concurrent TTCN test suite from CEBE, is proposed.
