NESTED CONTEXT LANGUAGE 3.0: PARTE 14: SUÍTE DE TESTES DE CONFORMIDADE PARA O GINGA-NCL

This paper describes the development of the compliance test suite for the Ginga-NCL, an ISDB-TB standard for digital terrestrial TV and ITU-T H.761 Recommendation for IPTV services.Both the test suite specification, i.e., the set of its test cases, as the several possibilities for its application are discussed.The peculiarities with regards the development of conformance tests for systems designed for declarative languages are argued, in particular those found in developing tests for middleware systems aiming at XML-based declarative environments.In this respect, the paper points out what the proposed suite has brought as contributions to the state of the art.Because it is an extensible suite, the article also brings the rules, adopted by the ITU-T, for its extension.
