VALIDATION OF A SUBSET OF A PLURALITY OF RESPONSES DURING PROTOCOL TESTING

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving, by a protocol server, a source code file. The source code file includes a TCDF. The TCDF includes parameters for a test case, preparation steps related to the test case, and a plurality of test case blocks. Each test case block of the plurality of test case blocks includes a set of testing steps and a certificate. The source code file is output by the protocol server to a SUT with an instruction for the SUT to execute the source code file in order to implement the set of testing steps for each of the plurality of test case blocks. A plurality of responses are received by the protocol server from the SUT. Each of the responses are compared against the certificates of the test case blocks. A test result is generated by the protocol server based on the comparisons.
