The present document specifies the control interfaces for TTCN-3 test system implementations. The TTCN-3 Control
Interfaces provide a standardized adaptation for management, test component handling and encoding/decoding of a test
system to a particular test platform. The present document defines the interfaces as a set of operations independent of a
target language.
The interfaces are defined to be compatible with the TTCN-3 standard (see clause 2). The interface definition uses the
CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) to specify the TCI completely. Clauses 8 and 9 present language
mappings for this abstract specification to the target languages Java and ANSI C. A summary of the IDL-based
interface specification is provided in annex A.
