2. CMP STANDARDS CONFORMANCE TESTING
The USA CE-LCMC Software Engineering Center (SEC):
Develops the CMP & JMPS Test Plans and Test Procedures
Schedules the CMP & JMPS certification testing
Directs and conducts the CMP & JMPS certification testing
Analyzes CMP & JMPS test results
Prepares Preliminary Trouble Reports
Prepares the CMP & JMPS Final Test Reports
Provides Final CMP & JMPS Test Reports to the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) for certifications
Obtains CMP & JMPS certifications from JITC

3. SUMMARY
SEC processed 802 valid USMTF test messages and 111 scripted error USMTF test messages on CMP v & JMPS v
Processing valid test messages yielded the following results:
- CMP identified four valid test messages as invalid:
- three valid test messages were invalid due to message text errors
- one valid test message, MET.CF (F251), generated a "warning" message due to ambiguous Field Format Index Reference Number (FFIRN) information in Set MSTA field 2
Processing scripted error messages yielded the following results:
- CMP identified 2 scripted error messages (BDAREP PHASE 2, D280 & RASREQ, D400) as valid due to structural notation anomalies.

4. SUMMARY
SEC directed and conducted CMP v & JMPS v Standards Conformance Testing for conformance to the MIL-STD-6040, USMTF 2007 baseline, from 10 thru 13 October 2006
CMP v & JMPS v was installed on Linux Enterprise 4.0, Solaris 8.0, Windows XP Professional, & Windows 2000 Professional operating platforms
No critical CMP or JMPS errors occurred during testing
SEC provided the Final Test Report to JITC on 8 DEC 2006 recommending certification for CMP v & JMPS v in compliance with the MIL-STD USMTF baseline

5. FUTURE TESTING
SEC will direct & conduct CMP v and JMPS v , MIL-STD USMTF baseline Standards Conformance Testing for CMP v & JMPS v installed on Linux Enterprise 4.0, Solaris 8.0, Windows XP Professional, & Windows 2000 Professional operating platforms from 1 thru 2 March 2007
SEC will direct & conduct CMP v MIL-STD-6017A VMF Standards Conformance Testing for CMP v installed on Linux Enterprise 4.0, Solaris 8.0, Windows XP Professional, & Windows 2000 Professional operating platforms from 13 thru 16 March 2007
