3. UACTT Training - Server Introduction (1 of 3)
What is it? A specialized UA Client designed to test a UA Server for compliance. Where is it? Who can get it? OPC Foundation Corporate Members What is tested? UA Servers and/or UA Clients Coverage? Many base/core services. Several UA profiles, with more in-development Extensible? Yes, you can add your own tests. Easy to use? Yes, once you’ve learned the basics.

4. UACTT Training - Server Introduction (2 of 3)
How it works: Each Service is tested by invoking specific calls that: a. are expected to pass and/or return specific results b. are expected to fail and/or return specific results c. multiple parameter combinations to check behavior d. validates behavior matches the UA specifications Test authors? Compliance Working Group (cmpwg) Developers? Compliance Working Group Can I help? Absolutely! We always need help creating test-cases and test-scripts, and for testing. Contact

5. UACTT Training - Server Introduction (3 of 3)
How do I pass? Your product must pass all tests in all selected profiles and/or conformance units. Am I Certified? Passing the UACTT does not mean you are certified by the OPC Foundation. It means that your product is ready for certification in a Test Lab. CTT used in Lab? Yes, test-labs use the current release version(s). Use CTT When? The best time is during product development. All UA products must pass the UACTT prior to release. Additional Help: Complete help-documentation is provided with the UACTT. Test-case documentation is also provided.

11. UACTT Training - Server Finding Help (2 of 2)
All test-cases used by the Lab are exported into HTML pages that are available with the UACTT. Test-case documentation can be launched from the main documentation or from the Help widget.

12. UACTT Training - Server Test Tool Configuration (1 of 4)
After launching the UACTT you must create a new Project. You must choose a Server or Client project type, and then specify the project name and save-location.

13. UACTT Training - Server Test Tool Configuration (2 of 4)
We must configure the CTT to connect to the UA Server.
Open the Settings and configure as shown above….
Step 1. Enter the EndPoint URL for the UA Server you will test.
Step 2. Click the Apply button.
Note: The Advanced folder contains settings that can be ignored.

14. UACTT Training - Server Test Tool Configuration (3 of 4)
The first time you connect to your Server you will need to accept/trust the Application Certificate. It’s recommended to permanently trust the certificate.
Once trusted, you can browse the server address-space.
The Certificate not trusted dialog will open when an unknown/untrusted certificate is detected.
Click Accept Permanently to trust the application

15. UACTT Training - Server Test Tool Configuration (4 of 4)
The UACTT [currently] requires manual configuration by specifying which UA Nodes to test against…
Drag-n-drop the Nodes from the browser (right) to the setting (left)
Each Folder contains settings for you to configure the NodeIds to be used during testing
Click the References tab to view forward/inverse references

16. UACTT Training - Server Testing & Debugging (1 of 3)
First, test the connection to the UA Server by using a test-script…
Step 2. Click “Execute Current Script”.
Step 1. Double-click 001.js in the Attribute Read/Test Cases folder.
The script will open in a tab.
Step 3. Check the Script Output tab to make sure the connection/test was successful.

17. UACTT Training - Server Testing & Debugging (2 of 3)
Second, run a compliance test for conformance units and/or profiles…
Step 2. Click Start Debug Run
Step 1. Choose the tests to run… You can use either tab: Conformance Units and/or Profiles.
Use checkboxes to select an entire Conformance Unit, or Conformance Group.
Use checkboxes to select one or more Profiles, which automatically checks the applicable Conformance Units.

18. UACTT Training - Server Testing & Debugging (3 of 3)
Perhaps you might test using a secure connection, or a session based on a login…
Step 1. Perhaps change the session settings by changing the UserAuthenticationPolicy etc.
Step 2. Perhaps change the SecureChannel configuration. Always start with None (no security) because troubleshooting is simpler.

19. UACTT Training - Server Debugging (1 of 2)
After a test-run, the Results widget contains a hierarchical audit trail of results…
Results Tab provides an audit-log of testing activities. The example above shows an entry which states that an incorrect error code was received.

20. UACTT Training - Server Debugging (2 of 2)
Use the integrated debugger to step-through a test-script…
Standard debugging tools: step into, step over, step out etc.
Powerful watch window.
View the code in the interactive code-display tab.
Open a script in the editor, and then click Start current script in debugger
View output from the debug-console, console, and error-log.
Access to call-stack, breakpoints, and a list of loaded-scripts etc.

22. UACTT Training - Server Advanced Debugging (1 of 3)
What is it? An ability to use a 2nd CTT to neutrally observe the 1st. Why? The UA calls can be easily seen & filtered. The trace output can be saved & opened later. What’s needed? 2 UA CTT instances running: a. Your Server CTT project b. A Client CTT project Coverage? This method requires an insecure channel between the 1st UA CTT and your downstream UA Server. All OPC UA calls can be traced. More Info? See the Client Test presentation.

Execute a test-script in the Server-CTT; observe results in Client-CTT…
UA Server CTT Project
UA Client CTT Project
UA Server (downstream)
opc.tcp://localhost:4841
Observe ALL request & response parameters of a service call
Select a test-script and then run it.
Observe the calls in the 2nd CTT (client test mode).

25. UACTT Training - Server Next Steps…
Once your UA Server passes all applicable CTT tests:
Conduct Interoperability Testing
Conduct Behavior Testing
Conduct Resource-efficiency Testing
Request Certification in the Test Lab:
This information is available in the CTT Test-Cases help pages.
