The Board of ITEA - Information Technology for European Advancement - selected the TT-Medal project as the winner of the ITEA 2005 Achievement Award. This was announced at the 6th ITEA Symposium in Helsinki, Finland, 13-14 October 2005. Within TT-Medal - Test & Testing Methodologies for Advanced Languages - researchers developed a generic standardised solution for software system testing. With the results, European industry can achieve a reduction in test development and test execution time and, at the same time, improve the product quality.
TT-Medal developed methodologies and tools based on the TTCN-3 (Testing and Test Control Notation) testing language from the European Telecommunication Standards Institute and introduced them into the European industry. Eleven participants from three European partners took part in TT-Medal, including telecommunications manufacturers (Nokia, Nethawk and VTT Electronics), automotive manufacturers (DaimlerChrysler), transportation operators (ProRail), software test tool suppliers, software test consultancy firms (e.g. LogicaCMG), academia and research centres (SEN2 research group of CWI, and FOKUS). The results provide an opportunity for European test tool suppliers and consultants to position themselves better in a world market that has been dominated by the USA.
