ABSTRACT:
A method of testing the implementation of a communication system definition by constructing a model of the communication system definition in a high level computing language such as PL/1; compiling the model and producing an executable machine language program; monitoring and recording messages transmitted by the data communication system; extracting relevant message-related information; using the extracted message unit sequence as input data to the executable machine language program; executing the machine language program and using the results of the execution to give an indication whether or not the messages were constructed correctly according to the communication system definition.
