Abstract
This paper contributes an analysis of possible pitfalls of automated
test execution and provides an novel approach for TTCN-3 test system to manage
and recover from errors occurred in the System Under Test (SUT) during test
execution. The research problem addressed in this paper is how to facilitate
recovery of distributed test system to recover from cascading errors caused by
software faults in the SUT. This research problem is addressed by applying
the software fault tolerance techniques in the implementation of the testing
environment. Provided solutions for error recovery and management are derived
from the software fault tolerance research work carried out during last
decades. The presented approach is validated in a prototype TTCN-3 test
environment supporting testing of distributed communication systems.
