Interoperability Test Message Data Base.

Abstract

The procedures and mechanism for defining a message format library have been developed and validated for the Test Item Stimulator (TIS). The use of a commercially available relational DBMS was found to be a viable alternative for developing a data base of test messages. The data base schema, high-level menu-driver, and procedures developed were validated using the character-oriented Maneuver Control System as a test case. The use of a commercially available DBMS was found to be a viable alternative for developing a data base of test messages. The relational model was found to be flexible enough to support character-oriented message formats. The data base schema and procedures developed during this investigation have provided useful input into the design of the pre-test component of the TIS. The procedures and mechanism for defining character oriented message formats have been developed and validated for the TIS. Further investigation should be performed to enhance this capability to provide automated means of composing messages into events and scenarios for testing C3I systems. A methodology investigation, Automated Aids to Test Data Generation, has been proposed to provide this capability.
