From Protocol Models to their Implementation: A Versatile Testing Methodology

IEEE Design and Test of Computers, Vol. 21, No. 5, September-October 2004, pp. 416-428.

Abstract: A flexible and versatile design methodology along with a testing environment for signaling protocols of point-to-point communication links is presented. The methodology exploits the testing scenarios used at the high-level protocol model for verifying the low-level protocol implementation. The testing environment is based on a set of software tools and custom hardware with embedded processors and allows the protocol validation under various transmission conditions. The paper also presents the application of the proposed approach on the development and testing of the signaling protocol used in ADSL communication links.
