Files Handled by the SDL and TTCN Integrated Simulator
A total of 7 file types are handled by the SDL and TTCN Integrated Simulator user interface. Fortunately, most sessions involve only a subset of those file types. The file types and a short description are listed below:
- ETS file
- Executable Test Suite file. This is a file generated by the TTCN to C compiler. It might in particular be an integrated-simulator which has a specialized kernel for running in cooperation with an SDL Suite simulated system.
- Setup file (.tts)
- A Setup file is a collection of the other file types and is used to manage a particular test Setup such that it can easily be re-created.
- Log file (.log)
- A Conformance Log File consists of the output from an ETS, as specified in the ISO-9646 standard.
- Trace file (.ttt)
- A simplified version of the Log file, more corresponding to the actual TTCN tables contents.
- Test Suite Parameters file (.ttp)
- A file for transferring the test suite parameters to the ETS. Comparable to the PICS/PIXIT file of ISO-9646. For details, please see Test Suite Parameters.
- Configuration file (.ttc)
- Test platform dependent file. Please see the ETS kernel implementators user guide for details.
- Breakpoints file (.ttb)
- A given set of breakpoints might be saved in the editor for later reuse.
