5. 27-Sep-16MTS#42 STF295 Progress42TD17 Slide 5 Issues to be Resolved - 1  The IPv6 Phase 2 database design is not stable  Changes to the design can have a significant effect on the complexity and efficiency of the queries embedded in the IPT Library pages

6. 27-Sep-16MTS#42 STF295 Progress42TD17 Slide 6 Issues to be Resolved - 2  The use of the T3Doc application to provide easy-to- browse documentation of the TTCN-3 test specifications is proving to be problematic for the following reasons:  Each T3Doc output file is processed (in a VBA script):  3000+ files in COR specification  4 hours to convert to IPT Library format  Organizer tree can no longer be processed automatically due to inconsistent use of naming conventions in the ATS and Libraries.  Errors in the T3Doc code itself mean that in some cases the output information is neither accurate nor complete (a small minority but nevertheless a problem).
