ETSI STFs/TTFs
Jan. 01, 2005 to June 30, 2025
Challenges
Standardized communication protocols and technical specifications do require unique descriptions for testing. At the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) most test specifications are defined and standardized using the Testing & Test Control Notation (TTCN-3). This work requires the
- development of very large test suites in parallel team work,
- creation and usage of TTCN-3 libraries, and
- validation with/without the system under test (SUT).
