Enhancing TDL and TOP to Meet Users’ New Demands (TTF T045)

The work of this TTF will focus on refinements of the Test Description Language (TDL) and the supporting TDL Open Source Project (TOP) to address specific demands of new users, including supporting ASN.1 for the specification of test purposes and test descriptions and integration within the TOP editor, a Message Building System that allows the creation of messages and message templates from TDL and external data type specifications and is integrated within the TOP editor, the analysis and analytics of TDL models with checking type constraints, test coverage metrics, and others, as well as graphical visualisation of textual TDL specifications and support for document generation of Test Purpose Descriptions and Test Descriptions. The TTF will also support of other TTFs working on test specifications, resolve open issues in TOP, and contribute to the MTS WI on an updated ETSI conformance and interoperability testing guide.
