Abstract
The new generation of communication protocols requires new test methods. The third version of Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN—3) embodies such a method. Because of conceptual changes, the existing TTCN—2 test environments cannot be reused; completely new tools shall be built on new bases. This paper shares our experiences gained during the design and usage of a TTCN—3 test executor developed for Ericsson interim use. The system architecture and basic ideas of implementation are described in details. We also present some case studies to demonstrate how efficiently the TTCN—3 language and the test executor can be used in real-life testing projects.
