Testing complex, software-based systems is an important aspect in an increasingly interconnected world. The further development of TTCN-3 (Testing and Test Control Notation) presented by FOKUS scientists allows flexible and domain-specific testing of time-critical systems. Since the extension was presented at ICST 2009 by Dr. Jürgen Großmann, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ina Schieferdecker and Dr. Diana Serbanescu, it has been officially included in the TTCN-3 standard and has proven itself in the context of industrial applications.

During the annual conference, the ICST looks back and evaluates the paper with the greatest impact of the last ten years, this year the work of the three researchers has been groundbreaking. The FOKUS scientists expect that TTCN-3 will continue to play a pioneering role as an industrial test technology for automated test solutions for modern, communication-based devices, applications and services.
