| Abstract | This thesis is a design and specification of a system to aid
the implementation and testing / validation of a computer network
protocol. The system is designed for higher level protocol layer,
i.e. from transport layer (layer 4) up. The system will aid the
implementation by let the implementer fill in well-structured
"program skeletons " instead of start coding from scratch and will
test / validate the protocol implemented as if it were running in
the real system by emulating its environment, including the
capability to emulate the delayed and nondeterministic sequence
of events using the queue system with timer. In order to use the
system the protocol must be implemented within this system or
with compatible interface based on signal. The strategy to test
/ validate is not included in this work and left to the user
since this i s an open-ended tool. The system operates in 2 modes:
manual and automatic. In automatic mode the predefined sequence
is used and the checking of result is done automatically using
the "Combined Service State Machine" constructed from the service
primitives specification.
The sample specification for implementation and testing /
validation of OSI/CCITT Basic Combined Subset (BSC) of session
layer protocol using this system is included in this thesis as an
example on its application. |
