TT-Medal developed methodologies and tools based on the TTCN-3 testing language from the European Telecom-munication Standards Institute and introduced them into the European industry. Eleven participants took part in TT-Medal, including three ERCIM members: SEN2 research group of CWI, Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems FOKUS and VTT. 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.
