Dear Risto,
thanks for catching this inconcistency!
In fact the TRI has not been updated according to the developments on
TCI.
The encoding/decoding is in TCI-CD for external codecs. The TE may have internal
codecs.
The component handling is in TCI-CH.
In TRI, the section should be titled Test Management and Control - like in the
TCI section. There is no separate Test Control (TC), but a Test Management (TM).
We will revise the TRI text.
With best regards,
Ina.

> Subject: General structure of a TTCN-3 test system?

> * Test Logging
> * External CoDecs
> * Component Handler

> * TTCN-3 Executable

> * Encoding/Decoding System
