As the size and complexity of large software systems continuously grow, so do their test systems. In today's telecommunication world, we have test systems which are comparable in complexity to that of the tested systems. Some of these test systems have to simulate millions of users, be as robust as the tested systems themselves and provide comparable performance. To be able to handle such testing needs, ETSI 1 developed the TTCN-3 programming language. TTCN-3 has proved to be very efficient for developing test systems for communication systems. In this article we present the results of analyzing the test software systems publicly available from www.ttcn-3.org. We show the issues that we have found on semantic level and on advanced code smell level. We also present some results on the test systems structural level.

“…As the products to be tested grow, so did their test systems written in TTCN-3, growing to millions of lines of code in size ( [5]), having complex architectures ( [36,39]), showing code quality patterns ( [27,28,37]) and evolution trends ( [38]) very similar to those present in other programming languages. The size and complexity of these huge test systems lead to long lasting build and development iterations (also seen for various projects ( [23]) using other programming languages).…”

This paper is based on research results achieved by a collaboration between Ericsson Hungary Ltd. and the Large Scale Testing Research Lab of Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. We present design issues and empirical observations on extending an existing industrial toolset with a new intermediate language1. Context: The industry partner’s toolset is using C/C++ as an intermediate language, providing good execution performance, but “somewhat long” build times, o ering a sub-optimal experience for users. Objective: In cooperation with our industry partner our task was to perform an experiment with Java as a different intermediate language and evaluate results, to see if this could improve build times. Method: We extended the mentioned toolset to use Java as an intermediate language. Results: Our measurements show that using Java as an intermediate language improves build times significantly. We also found that, while the runtime performance of C/C++ is better in some situations, Java, at least in our testing scenarios, can be a viable alternative to improve developer productivity. Our contribution is unique in the sense that both ways of building and execution can use the same source code as input, written in the same language, generate intermediate codes with the same high-level structure, compile into executables that are configured using the same files, run on the same machine, show the same behaviour and generate the same logs. Conclusions: We created an alternative build pipeline that might enhance the productivity of our industry partner’s test developers by reducing the length of builds during their daily work.

The purposes of this study were: (1) to develop an educational game application on the basic programming material, and (2) to reveal the quality of the developed educational game application. This research methodology was research and development. The results of this research were as follows. (1) The educational game application was developed using the Codeigniter framework and consisted of the main feature to evaluate students’ learning cooperatively by dividing students into teams, playing games, following tournaments among teams, and recognition of teams. (2) The test results showed that the developed educational game application met the ISO/IEC 25010 standards on (a) functional suitability aspect, which worked 100% and had X = 1; (b) performance efficiency, which could load web pages within 2.76 seconds, PageSpeed’s performance of 91% (grade A) and YSlow of 93% (grade A); (c) usability, with the percentage of SMKN 1 Limboto being 89.12% and SMKN 1 Gorontalo 88.18%; (d) security, with the vulnerability to attack level being at level 1 (low); (e) reliability, with the result of successful session criteria, hits and pages by 100%; (f) maintainability, which had the maintainability index value of 92.26; (g) portability, which successfully ran on four different desktop and mobile browsers.
