T08: Testing of Communication Protocols and Software

Objectives
Testing is an important step in the development cycle of both communication protocols and distributed software systems. In our research group, a lot of work has been directed towards testing these systems. This work was guided, supported, and adopted by our research and industrial collaborators as Communications and Information Technology Ontario (CITO), IBM, Nortel Networks, MITEL, and Rational. Based on this work and on our other industrial experience in this domain, we will introduce various industrial strength methods, languages, and tools used for test planning, derivation, management, execution, and fault diagnosis. Practical application areas such as E commerce testing and conformance testing will also be discussed. Finally, we will include our recommendations for effective and efficient practical test strategies.

Outline/Topics

I - Motivation- Need for testing

II- Black Box Test Design and Derivation Methods

III-White Box, Code Based Control and Data Flow Testing

IV-Key Application Areas
    1. Conformance testing
    2. E-commerce testing

V-Industrial-Strength Testing
    1. Robustness testing
    2. Load and stress testing
    3. Reliability testing
    4. Configuration testing
    5. Test specification languages
    6. Testing Tools and Vendors

VI-Management Issues in Testing Communications Software
    1. Test management and Planning
    2. Writing test plans and test cases
    3. Executing test cases
    4. Fault Diagnosis
