The ChallengesThe Challenges

● Interoperability requires tests, validation and certification Conformance

■ Test against reference implementations

Interoperability■ Test against other vendor implementations

Performance■ How protocols can be improved and scale?

The BarriersThe Barriers

● SMEs are driven by time-to-market● Standards are driven by large organizations

If not open, membership might be otherwise expensive

● Tests require physical meetings and complex logistics Plugfest Managing confidentiality of information

● Certification process might be long and costly

The Testing Life CycleThe Testing Life Cycle

● Test Description (TD) Describe the test scenario, any language

● Test Script (TS) Set of actions to implement the scenario Exchange of information between IUTs

(interoperability) and IUT and test system (conformance)

● Test Analysis (TA) Analyze, compare messages, generate verdict (pass

or fail)
