73 TTCN-3 Test Case Generation from MSCs Object Orientation  MSC documents define instance kinds  instance kinds are types suited for object orientation  Inheritance  inheritance of instance kinds means inheriting all contained instances and MSCs  Virtuality  Virtual MSCs means that MSCs may be redefined in specialized instance kinds  Close correspondance with object orientation in SDL and other object-oriented languages such as Java

74 TTCN-3 Test Case Generation from MSCs Data in MSC-2000  MSC has no data language of its own!  MSC can make use of data languages such that  fragments of your favorite (data) language can be used (C, C++, SDL, Java, TTCN-3,... )  MSC can be parsed without knowing the details of the chosen data language  the data language strings have no unnecessary extra delimiters  Mappings to data languages have not yet been made  up to any user  could be standardized in the future

76 TTCN-3 Test Case Generation from MSCs Method Calls  Method Calls  Blocking (with reply)  Non-Blocking  Method calls can be super-imposed  Used to describe the control flow between instances

77 TTCN-3 Test Case Generation from MSCs Summary & Outlook (2)  MSC as powerful means for test purpose and test case specifications  in particular, extensions of MSC-2000 such as data support and method calls are used  Test case generation from MSC test purposes  direct mapping to test case templates  MSC like presentation format for TTCN- 3
