Towards a Framework for Testing Distributed Multimedia Software Systems

With the advancement in network speed and computing power; distributed multimedia applications are becoming populal: However;generalprinciples of system testing cannot be directly applied to testing of distributed multimedia software systems (DMSS)on account of their stringent timing and synchronizationrequirements. Thispaper presents a framework for testing DMSS with special emphases on test case generation and resr architecture. Wepropose ways to greatly cut down the number of test cases without compronzising the test effectiveness. Proceduresfor testing the servers and the clients are also discussed.
