3. 3 What is Testing? Testing is the process used to help identify: –Correctness –Completeness –Security –Quality … of developed computer software. Testing is a process of technical investigation, performed on behalf of stakeholders, that is intended to reveal quality-related information about the product with respect to the context in which it is intended to operate.

4. 4 Testing life cycle Software testing life cycle: Requirement Analysis Test Planning Test Development Test Execution Test Reporting Retesting the Defects

5. 5 Types of Testing There are many types of tests, like: Performance; Robustness; Behaviour; Functions; Conformance; Interoperability;

6. Conformance Testing (CT)

7. 7 ISO/IEC TR 13233 defined conformance and conformity as “fulfilment by a product, process or service of all relevant specified conformance requirements”. ISO/IEC DIS 10641 defined conformance testing as "test to evaluate the adherence or no adherence of a candidate implementation to a standard”.

8. 8 Conformance Testing (CT) To apply the conformance testing to an implementation, the standards or specifications, must specify the requirements or criteria for conformance. In general this are done in a conformance clause or conformance statement. Also, to help in the conformance testing, some standards describe methodologies and platforms to implement the conformance testing.

11. 11 CT Abstract Test Suits(ATS) ATS is defined by a set of Abstract Test Cases (ATC) describing in a conceptual format With the ATS defined for one AP, the Conformance Testing procedures can be executed on the IUT ATS needs to be instantiated creating the Executable Test Cases (ETC), which are the data and commands to be used to execute the test described in computer format.

16. Interoperability Checking (IC)

17. 17 Interoperability Checking IEEE define interoperability as "the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.” Interoperability testing is the act of determining if end-to-end functionality between (at least) two communicating systems is as required by those base systems’ standards. “ETSI”
