Methods for Testing and Specification (MTS); The Testing and Test Control Notation version 3; TTCN-3 Language Extensions: Behaviour Types

Scope

The present document defines the Behaviour Types package of TTCN-3. TTCN-3 can be used for the specification of
all types of reactive system tests over a variety of communication ports. Typical areas of application are protocol testing
(including mobile and Internet protocols), service testing (including supplementary services), module testing, testing of
APIs, etc. TTCN-3 is not restricted to conformance testing and can be used for many other kinds of testing including
interoperability, robustness, regression, system and integration testing. The specification of test suites for physical layer
protocols is outside the scope of the present document.
TTCN-3 packages are intended to define additional TTCN-3 concepts, which are not mandatory as concepts in the
TTCN-3 core language, but which are optional as part of a package which is suited for dedicated applications and/or
usages of TTCN-3.
This package defines types for behaviour definitions in TTCN-3.
While the design of TTCN-3 package has taken into account the consistency of a combined usage of the core language
with a number of packages, the concrete usages of and guidelines for this package in combination with other packages
is outside the scope of the present document.
