Testing of Communicating Systems, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1997 IFIP TC6 10th International Workshop on Testing of Communicating Systems, 8–10 September 1997, Cheju Island, Korea IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology Series

The aim of this book is to bring together the research of academics and practitioners in the field of communication systems testing. It covers four major topic areas; types of testing including conformance testing, inoperability testing, performance and QoS testing; phases of testing including test case generation, means of testing, test execution and test results analysis; classes of systems tested and the theory and practice of testing including test-related algorithms, practical testing methodology and practical testing experience.
