- A complete tutorial reference on TTCN-3 with real-world examples and expert advice based on author's practical industrial experience using the standard.
- Offering a unique insider perspective: Nokia has been instrumental in the development of both the language and tools associated with TTCN-3 and the author is in a unique position to document this experience to help and guide new users.
- And an associated web site that contains code samples from the book and links to the relevant standards documents.
This book provides the perfect companion to the available TTCN-3 language standards filling the gaps in areas such as style guide, structuring, and pointing out the dangers or pitfalls based on the author's personal TTCN-3 experience from language standardization, tool implementation and applying TTCN-3 for a number of years in the real world. The style and level of the book make it suitable for both engineers learning and applying the language in the real world and students learning TTCN-3 as part of their studies.
Colin Willcock is a Senior Research Manager at Nokia Research Center. He received a BSc from Sheffield University in 1986, an MSc from Edinburgh University in 1987, and a PhD in parallel computation from the University of Kent in 1992.

Until December 2004, Federico Engler has been a Principal Engineer at Nokia Research Center. He studied computer science at Uppsala University from 1989 till 1993. After that, he started working for Telelogic, where he was involved in standardization issues around TTCN-2, TTCN-3, and ASN.1, as well as TTCN-3 tool development. In January 2003, Federico started working for Nokia in the area of automated test solutions, which involved the mapping, documentation, and synchronization of testrelated activities at a Nokia-wide level.He has also been involved in activities around improved visualization and documentation of tests and test results within Nokia.
Stephan Schulz is a Senior Research Engineer at Nokia Research Center. He received a BSc in Electrical Engineering from State University of New York at Binghamton in 1995 and an MSc and PhD in Computer Engineering from University of Arizona at Tucson in 1997 and 2001. He has been an editor of the TTCN-3 Runtime Interface (TRI) standard and hasmade a number of contributions in the field of TTCN-3-based text-based protocol testing. Stephan has been developing and teaching TTCN-3 courses for Nokia engineers. Currently, he is one of the main architects in the ETSI design team of a TTCN-3 IPv6 testing library.
Looking for a solid introduction to the TTCN-3 language and its use? An Introduction to TTCN-3 is just what you need. All the important concepts and constructs of the language are explained in a tutorial style with the emphasis on extensive examples. Throughout the author also addresses the larger picture of how the testing language is related to the overall test system implementation. A complete tutorial reference on TTCN-3 with real-world examples and expert advice based on author s practical industrial experience using the standard. Offering a unique insider perspective: Nokia has been instrumental in the development of both the language and tools associated with TTCN-3 and the author is in a unique position to document this experience to help and guide new users.
