Methods for Testing and Specification (MTS); The Testing and Test Control Notation version 3; Part 5: TTCN-3 Runtime Interface (TRI)

Scope

The present document provides the specification of the runtime interface for TTCN-3 test system implementations. The
TTCN-3 Runtime Interface provides a standardized adaptation for timing and communication of a test system to a
particular processing platform and the system under test, respectively. The present document defines the interface as a
set of operations independent of target language.
The interface is defined to be compatible with the TTCN-3 standard (see ETSI ES 201 873-1 [2]). The present
document uses the CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) to specify the TRI completely. Clauses 6, 7 and 8
present language mappings for this abstract specification to the target languages JavaTM, ANSI C, and C++. A summary
of the IDL based interface specification is provided in annex A.
NOTE: JavaTM is the trade name of a programming language developed by Oracle Corporation. This information
is given for the convenience of users of the present document and does not constitute an endorsement by
ETSI of the programming language named. Equivalent programming languages may be used if they can
be shown to lead to the same results.
