1 Scope
The purpose of the present document is to provide Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) for the
conformance test suite for using XML Schema with TTCN-3 as defined in ETSI ES 201 873-1 [5] in compliance with
the relevant guidance given in the pro forma for TTCN-3 reference test suite ETSI TS 102 995 [4]. In the present
document only XML related features, specified in ETSI ES 201 873-9 [1] have been considered but not the core
language features (see [5]), nor tool implementation (see [i.2] and [i.3]), language mapping (see [i.4] and [i.5]) and
language extension (see e.g. [i.6], [i.7] and [i.8]) aspects.
