Abstract

Conformance testing may be seen as mean to execute an IUT (implementation under test) by carrying out test cases in order to observe whether the behavior of the IUT is conforming to its specifications. However, the development of distributed testing frameworks is more complex and the implementation of the parallel testing components (PTCs) should take into consideration the mechanisms and functions required to support interaction during PTC communication. In this article, the authors present another way to control the test execution of PTCs by introducing synchronization messages into the local test sequences. Then, they suggest an agent-based simulation to implement synchronized local test sequences and resolve the problem of control and synchronization.

Distributed Testing

The principle testing is to apply input events to the IUT and compare the observed outputs with expected results. A set of input events and planned outputs is commonly called a test case and it is generated from the specification of the IUT. Conformance testing may be seen as mean to execute an IUT by carrying out test cases, in order to observe whether the behavior of the implementation is conforming to its specification.
