Z.145 (03/2006) i ITU-T Recommendation Z.145 Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3): Control Interface (TCI) Summary This Recommendation specifies the control interfaces for TTCN-3 (Testing and Test Control Notation 3) test system implementations. The T

7、TCN-3 Control Interface provides the recommended adaptation for management, test component handling and encoding/decoding of a test system to a particular test platform. This Recommendation defines the interfaces as a set of operations independent of a target language. The interfaces are defined to

8、be compatible with ITU-T Rec. Z.140. The interface definition in this Recommendation uses the CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) to specify the TCI completely. Clauses 8 and 9 specify language mappings of the abstract specification to the target languages Java and ANSI-C. A summary of the IDL

9、-based interface specification is provided in Annex A. Source ITU-T Recommendation Z.145 was approved on 16 March 2006 by ITU-T Study Group 17 (2005-2008) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 procedure. ii ITU-T Rec. Z.145 (03/2006) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the Unite

10、d Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecomm

11、unications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the proc

12、edure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a tele

13、communication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of the

14、se mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU

15、 draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU membe

16、rs or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not

44、Test Control TCI TTCN-3 Control Interfaces TE TTCN-3 Executable TL Test Logging TM Test Management TMC Test Management and Control TRI TTCN-3 Runtime Interface TSI Test System Interface TTCN-3 Testing and Test Control Notation Version 3 4 Introduction This Recommendation consists of two distinct par

45、ts, the first part describing the structure of a TTCN-3 test system implementation and the second part presenting the TTCN-3 Control Interfaces specification. The first part introduces the decomposition of a TTCN-3 test system into four main entities: Test Management and Control (TMC); TTCN-3 Execut

46、able (TE); SUT Adaptor (SA); and Platform Adaptor (PA). The TMC consists itself of three entities: Test Management (TM), Coder/Decoder (CD), and Test Component Handler (CH). In addition, the interaction between these entities, i.e., the corresponding interfaces, is defined. The second part of this R

47、ecommendation specifies the TTCN-3 Control Interfaces (TCI). The interfaces are defined in terms of operations implemented as part of one entity and called by other test system entities. For each operation, the interface specification defines associated data structures, the intended effect on the te

48、st system and any constraints on the usage of the operation. Note that these interface specifications only define interactions between the TE and TM, TE and CD, and TE and CH. For interactions between the TE and SA and the TE and PA, please refer to the TTCN-3 Runtime Interface specification (ITU-T

49、Rec. Z.144 1). 4 ITU-T Rec. Z.145 (03/2006) 5 Compliance The minimum required for a TCI-compliant TTCN-3 test system is to adhere to the interface specification stated in this Recommendation. The TTCN-3 semantics in the test system must adhere to the operational semantics defined in ITU-T Rec. Z.143 3. In addition, one language mapping must be supported. For example, if a vendor supports Java, the TCI operation calls and implementations, which are part of the TTCN-3 executable, must comply with the IDL t
