Part No:MPCD-Engineering-MSC
Cinderella MSC is a visual modelling tool for analysis, specification,
documentation and testing of communications services, protocols, or any kind
of message/signal based system.
Cinderella MSC is based on the specification language MSC, standardised by
the International Telecommunication union, ITU. MSC is a graphical notation
that encompasses the expressive power of UML sequence diagrams.
A powerful API (Application Programming Interface) comes with the Cinderella
MSC tool. The API allows an external program
to manipulate Cinderella MSC through a set of simple C-like function calls.
Implementation links allow tracing the MSC from Cinderella SDL
The API can both be used from a server application (a dll called from the
MSC editor) and from a server application (an external program controlling
Cinderella MSC). Examples of API usages are:
˙Generation
of an MSC as an execution trace
˙Generation
of test cases from an MSC
˙Conversion
of an MSC from/to another format (e.g. Telelogic Tau)
˙Seamless
integration of Cinderella MSC with other tools/programs.
Two Applications with source codes comes with
Cinderella MSC
˙A server
application for generation of textual MSC
˙A client
application for using Cinderella MSC for testing together with
Cinderella SDL |
