This document outlines the main objectives and issues related to High-Level Test Descriptions. It clarifies the differences between test languages and descriptions, identifies relevant concepts, and analyzes standards and notations to find a common set of concepts. The goal is to ensure that High-Level Test Descriptions are as abstract yet precise as possible, readable by humans, and conducive to computerized processing. Key topics include test setup, conditions, architecture, behavior, and the development of formal rules and notations for effective test descriptions.

High Level Test Descriptions related topics Alexander Kraas 12. March 2009
Main Objectives • Issues to be clarified • Clarification of the main difference between test languages and High Level Test Descriptions • Identification of Test Description relevant concepts • Analysis of different standards and notation in order to identify a common set of used concepts • Our point of view • The abstraction level of High Level Test Descriptions should be as high as possible, but so precise as necessary in order to express different test relevant information. • It have to be ensured the High Level Test Description should be readable and writeable by humans. • If possible, High Level Test Description should follow formal rules in order to ensure a computerized processing
Requirements for test descriptions • Different topics for identifying relevant requirements • Initial setup/state of the testsystem • Test pre-/post-conditions • Static aspects • Test architecture • Test data • Test Behavior • Test interactions • Concurrent test activities • Timer • Test verdicts
Summary • Proposed contents for an Technical Report • General objectives of High Level Test Descriptions • Differences between Test Languages and Test Descriptions • Relevant concepts and approaches • Standards (ISO CMTF, IEEE 829, …) • Test Languages (TTCN-3, U2TP, …) • Notations (TPLan, …) • Analysis of Requirements for High Level Test Descriptions • Possible Notations for High Level Test Descriptions (informal) • Textual Notations • Graphical Notations
