TTCN-3 test development platform successfully validated for Ready for IBM Rational Software

TTworkbench as a Plugin for the IBM Rational Software Development Platform provides an integration of Testing Technologies' TTCN-3 development and execution environment inside Rational´s Eclipse-based Rational Software Architect and Rational Software Modeler products.

Ready for IBM Rational software is the official program through which IBM business partner products are validated for integration with the IBM Rational Software Development Platform. Products validated as Ready for IBM Rational software follow best practices specified by IBM, and are assured to integrate smoothly with the Software Development Platform. IBM business partners with Ready for IBM Rational software validated products work within IBM specifications for integration into IBM's open, comprehensive, Eclipse-based development environment that enables delivery of dynamic, on-demand e-business applications.

“Testing Technologies´ TTworkbench product plugs seamlessly into IBM's Eclipse-based integrated development environment, enabling developers to write and execute test solutions much more faster than with common test languages and methodologies”, says Stephan Pietsch, CTO of the company.

TTworkbench consists of different modules, a TTCN-3 Core Language editor, a graphical TTCN-3 editor, a TTCN-3 compiler (including ASN.1 and IDL data support) and a test management for execution and analysis. TTCN-3 is the only international standardized test language to specify and implement complex test solutions in different application areas. As it is an universal test language and can be used for conformance, functional, regression, performance, integration and interoperability testing. TTCN-3 is standardized by ETSI and ITU-T.
