Design and Implementation of a Distributed Conformance Test System based on XML

Test system plays more and more important part during testing process. In this paper, the architecture of a distributed conformance test system is designed. The main function of each part is introduced. The core part of this test system, called IMU-TNGIP, is designed and implemented from editor to executor in many details. It includes at least three parts, expression of test suite, execution of test suite and log.XML is chose to express the test suites including test cases and test steps. For demonstration, Neighbor Discover Protocol is used to show the structure of test suite and log window. Compared with the other work, the characteristics of IMU-TNGIP are introduced and the research work in the future is presented.
