Presentation held at TAROT Summer School on Software Testing, Schloß Laubegg, 25 June 2010
Abstract
Test automation encompasses all activities to automated various steps in the overall testing process including automation of test management, test generation, or test execution. The standardized Testing and Test Control Notation (TTCN-3) addresses in particular test execution automation by defining a test specification language and a test system architecture that enables the implementation and execution of any correct TTCN-3 test suite. Over the years, the standard has continuously being maintained and evolved. In particular, concepts for advanced parameterization and typing and for real-time tests have been defined. The presentation will provide an introduction to TTCN-3 and present recent extensions.
