Abstract

A guide which presents the options available for the use of TTCN. This will identify the advantages and disadvantages of particular approaches so that an informed decision can be made by any TB/WG embarking on the development of a new testing standard. The guide will also give advice on the use of TTCN for performance and real-time testing.
