ABSTRACT
TDL is an interpreter for a high level test language used in the development of hardware and microcode. A user can supply commands interactively at a terminal, or from a prepared command file to facilitate automated testing. TDL can communicate to either real hardware or a program simulating the hardware, supplying a uniform interface to both. TDL's features simplify test writing, generating test cases, and calculating test results.

TDL: a hardware description language for retargetable postpass optimizations and analyses
GPCE '03: Proceedings of the 2nd international conference on Generative programming and component engineeringThe hardware description language TDL has been designed with the goal to generate machine-dependent postpass optimizers and analyzers from a concise specification of the target processor. TDL is assembly-oriented and provides a generic modeling of ...
Test descriptions with ETSI TDL
To address the need for abstract, high-level test descriptions that can be shared among different stakeholders, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) commissioned the design of the Test Description Language (TDL). TDL is designed as ...
