Abstract
A methodology is presented to test the conformity of managed nodes to network management standards in the SNMP framework. The first phase of the methodology consists of an object-oriented modeling of the managed node using class diagrams and SDL-92 language. The second phase takes the abstract model to systematically generate test suites. The approach is based on ISO’s conformance testing methodology. Test cases are expressed in the Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN). The approach is illustrated with a recently developed Management Information Base (MIB) for the management of ATM permanent virtual links.
