Question 14/17 - Testing Languages, Methodologies and Framework
(Continuation of Question Q/17)
- 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 14/17 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).
- 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.
- ITU-T Recommendation Z.500 (1997), Framework on formal methods in conformance
testing.
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.
- 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?
- 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.
- Relationships
Recommendations: Z.10x, Z.12x, Z.13x, Z.15x, X.68x, X.69x, X.901, X.902, X.903, X.920, X.931
