Testing of Communicating Systems presents the latest international
results in both the theory and industrial practice of the testing of
communicating systems. The topics discussed range from tools and
techniques for testing to test standards, frameworks, notations,
algorithms, fundamentals of testing, and industrial experiences and
issues. The tools and techniques discussed apply to conformance testing,
interoperability testing, performance testing of communications
software, Internet protocols and applications, and multimedia and
distributed systems in general, such as systems for electronic
commerce.
This volume contains the extensively refereed proceedings of the 13th
International Conference on Testing of Communicating Systems (TestCom
2000), which was sponsored by the International Federation for
Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in
early September 2000.
Testing of Communicating Systems is essential reading for engineers,
designers, managers of IT products and services, and all researchers
interested in advancing the technology of engineering Internet
frameworks, systems, services, and applications for reliability and
quality.
