The amount of software and the dependency of society on this software is still increasing rapidly. Software provides the core functionality of most electronics products. These so-called "software-intensive systems" have a large penetration into daily life and this penetration is expected to grow even more in the coming years. In addition to the growth in size and complexity, these software-intensive systems need to be of ever-increasing quality and need to be developed in ever-shorter time frames. To remain competitive in the development of such systems, industry needs to increase productivity and quality by means of re-use and better testing practices.

Testing is an important step in the development of a software-intensive system, as it checks the compliance of a system to (end) user requirements. In order to fulfil market demands for better and faster system development, also testing these systems should be done in a more effective and efficient way. By more effective testing, a better indication is provided of product quality, and by more efficient testing this indication is provided faster.

This project offers solutions to meet these demands. This web-site give you an overview of TT-medal and provide you the results of the project.

TT-Medal Project Wins ITEA Achievement Award 2005

During the 6th ITEA Symposium in Helsinki on the 15th and 16th of October 2005 the TT-Medal project was awarded the ITEA Achievement Award 2005 for outstanding contributions to the ITEA programme with the following wording:

The Board of ITEA – Information Technology for European Advancement – has selected the TT-Medal (Test & testing methodologies for advanced languages) project as the winner of the ITEA 2005 Achievement Award. This project has achieved a major breakthrough by developing a generic standardised solution for software system testing. TT-Medal offers great potential for European industry to achieve a reduction in test development and test execution time in the near future and, at the same time, fulfil demands for high product quality. The results provide a unique opportunity for European test tool suppliers and consultants to position themselves better in a world market that has been dominated by the USA.
