Dear Charaku,
As far as I know there are 3 tools on the market that can automatically
generate TTCN-3 scripts from UML models:
(1) There is a test generator from Testing Technologies that generates
TTCN-3 scripts form the test cases modeled using UML
(2) Qtronic by Conformiq and (3) Elvior MOTES generate TTCN-3 scripts from
the UML model of the system.
The difference between Testing Technologies and Conformiq/Elvior solutions
is essential. You need to model your test cases graphically using UML in
Testing Technologies case. Therefore their test generation just transforms
the graphical presentation of test cases into TTCN-3 test script. The
generator itself does not decide which test cases should be created to
achive good enough test coverage.
Conformiq/Elvior approaches generate tests from the system model. The system
model specifies the correct behaviour of the testable system. The test
generation uses heuristics to generate test cases automatically and finally
renders the test cases in TTCN-3 according to the test coverage defined by
the test engineer.

The tool that executes the TTCN-3 scripts should be integrated to MATLAB
Simulink or other simulator in such case. All TTCN-3 test executives can be
integrated to the simulator tools by building a system adapter between the
TTCN-3 test executive and simulator tool.
