Berlin, September 27, 2004 – Navtel Communications Inc.,
a leading developer and provider of test equipment for the
laboratories of network equipment manufacturers and operators
has entered into an agreement with Testing Technologies of
Berlin to provide an integrated TTCN-3 (Test & Test Control
Notation – 3) development and test suite runner environment
on Navtel's award winning InterWatch platform.
Joel Orvis, TTCN3 Product Manager at Navtel stated that “Testing
Technologies‘ TTCN-3 compiler and editor solutions combined
with the InterWatch’s intuitive test suite runtime
environment bring a powerful new software option to the InterWatch.
It
allows users to rapidly author their own test suites, as
well as providing an environment to expand the protocol test
suites
offered
by Navtel to include testing of non-standard functionality.
Since TTCN-3 is an industry recognized ETSI standard designed
especially for protocol testing, test suite developers don’t
have to spend time learning a language that is specific to
one test device”.
Once functional, conformance or interoperability
test suites have been developed in the TTCN-3 development
environment, they can be configured and run repeatedly in the
InterWatch
Test Suite Runner over user selectable transport layer
protocol stacks. The Test Suite Runner works autonomously,
allowing
reliable and inexpensive automated regression testing of
implementations in network vendor and operator labs.
Theofanis Vassiliou-Gioles, CEO of Testing Technologies,
explains that “the partnership between Testing Technologies
and Navtel underlines our commitment to offer our customers
not
only best-of-the breed TTCN-3 test solutions but also to
provide them with access to the latest cutting-edge test
hardware.
Testing Technologies always targets customer expectations
with standardized solutions. Navtel's decision to implement
TTCN-3
on the InterWatch platform shows that our endeavours to standardize
the TTCN-3 execution environment started at exactly the right
time.”
