Description

With the widespread use of open systems, more and more attention is being devoted to methods and tools for testing correct interworking in a heterogeneous environment. Many technical solutions have been developed by researchers from academia, PTTs and industrial laboratories. These solutions have formed the basis for a standardized framework for OSI conformance testing. Existing techniques are being applied to practical testing. This in turn provides feedback and new ideas. Also there are many equally important political aspects in the testing area. The goal of the 2nd International workshop on Protocol Test Systems (IWPTS) 1989 was to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss important issues in the area of protocol testing, review the state of the art and argue about trends and directions for the future.
