The Testing and Test Control Notation TTCN-3 is a test specification and implementation language that has been defined classically in form of a formal syntax and a semiformal semantics. UML, MOF and MDA has shown that on contrary meta-model based language definitions impose new ways of defining language semantics as a separation of syntax and semantic concept space, of integrating languages via a common meta-model base and of generating and deriving models from other models via model transformers. This paper defines a meta-model for TTCN-3, such that TTCN-3 can take advantage of meta-model based approaches - in particular for integrating test but also system development techniques. It also discusses the realization of the TTCN-3 meta-model and its use for meta-model based tools.
