Do TTCN-3 tools support test process management capability? Is it possible to integrate them with other tools like IBM/HP change management?

August 12, 2010

TTCN-3 test tools themselves do not include heavy test process management. There is standardized interface (TCI-TM) to integrate Test Management software to the TTCN-3 executable.  TCI-TM is the standardized interface  that enables to control the TTCN-3 executable through third party test process management systems from outside.

Do TTCN-3 tools support any non-functional testing?

August 12, 2010

Software performance testing and load testing – yes/no, depends on use case Stability testing - yes Usability testing - no, usability testing is SW testing by real users, not by test script Security testing - yes, depends on test script Internationalization and localization - no Destructive testing – yes/no, depends on use case and TTCN-3 script Non-functional testing depends heavily on [...]

What kind of System Under Test (SUT) can there be?

August 12, 2010

TTCN-3 testing language can be used to test a great variety of various SUT’s. The SUT type depends heavily on the system adapter implementation. Some examples of SUT are: Embedded SW (embedded to some device), but it must be possible to connect to the device from computer (since test tool runs on a computer) via LAN, USB [...]

What are TCI and TRI?

August 12, 2010

TTCN-3 Control Interface (TCI) is a standardized interface helps to connect external logger, test management and codecs to the test tool. TTCN-3 Runtime Interface (TRI) is a standardized interface that helps to connect system adapter and platform adapter with the system under test (SUT).

Is it possible to support embedded software black box testing and web/distributed app software black box testing?

August 12, 2010

These both aspects are about the implementation of SA (System Adapter). Therefore, it cannot be answered directly. The general deployment of TTCN-3 test system looks like this: TestTool <- TRI -> SA <- SUT proprietary protocol -> SUT There is an overview of the TTCN-3 Generic Framework below that illustrates how it is set-up.
