Abstract
TTCN-3 is a standardized language for specifying and executing test suites that is particularly popular for testing embedded systems. Prior to testing embedded software in a target environment, the software is usually tested in the host environment. Executing in the host environment often affects the real-time behavior of the software and, consequently, the results of real-time testing.
Here we provide a semantics for host-based testing with simulated time and a a simulated-time solution for distributed testing with TTCN-3.
This work is done within the project “TTMedal. Test and Testing Methodologies for Advanced Languages (TT-Medal) sponsored by Information Technology for European Advancement Programm (ITEA)” [15].
