Abstract
Digital TV software, receiver system for digital broadcasting, processes huge MPEG-2 TS formatted data that has variable hierarchy. Because of complexity and enormity of MPEG-2 TS, it is difficult for user to generate test data manually. Generating of test data is not only expensive and time consuming but also requires expert knowledge of MPEG-2 standard. In this paper, we implemented the tool that generates the MPEG-2 TS formatted test data for Digital TV software. Using this tool, user ran get reliable test data without extensive knowledge of MPEG-2 standard. Also, database mechanism that our tool based on supports variable hierarchy of MPEG-2 TS.
