Testing of Communicating Systems XIV presents the latest
international results in both the theory and industrial practice of the
testing of communicating systems, ranging 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, Internet protocols and
applications, and multimedia and distributed systems in general.
The topics covered in this volume include:
- Testing TCP/IP;
- Testing Internet systems;
- Interoperability testing;
- Test automation;
- Test generation and selection;
- Testing distributed systems;
- FSM-based testing;
- Applications of TTCN-3; and
- Industrial sessions.
This volume contains the papers presented at the 14th International
Conference on Testing of Communicating Systems (TestCom 2002), which was
sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing
(IFIP) and held in Berlin, Germany, in March 2002.
The conference program presents the state of the art in research
concerning the testing of communicating systems. This is an important
research area in the development of computer networks and distributed
applications where much activity is currently in progress. The TestCom
series of conferences is one of the main international forums where
these important findings are reported.
Testing of Communicating Systems XIV 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.
