Test execution of telecommunications services using CORBA

Even though there are many testing methods for telecommunication systems very little has been said about test execution in distributed environments. This paper addresses this problem and proposes the implementation and test of telecommunication services on a CORBA-like platform. We present a test architecture for distributed systems and describe system components and test execution phases. An implementation solution is also proposed. The application is illustrated by the implementation of a telecommunication service: the BCS (Basic Call Service).
