Introduction The encouragement of the European Commission for the adoption and promotion of generic test frameworks for the validation of standards
17、 based on multiple stacks including middleware provides evidence that successful testing as well as interoperability is key factors to enable the use of new technologies providing all benefits attached to them including competitiveness and innovation. However, technologies are becoming more complex,
18、 collaborative, and inter-dependant. Therefore, methodologies and approaches for ensuring interoperability need to be innovative and consider new evolving challenges such as the distribution of components and their remote access in an embedded environment. This guide adapts and presents a solid and
19、proven method to these new challenges. The current and future e-communication market can be described as a convergent multimedia market with an increasingly complex structure. Within the present competitive environment, the risk of non-interoperability is increasing due to a fast evolution of techno
20、logy and the use of non-open standards. The main purpose of standardization is to enable interoperability in a multi-vendor, multi-network, multi-service environment. The absence of interoperability should not be the reason why final services for which there is great demand do not come into being. E
21、TSI is very much aware of these developments and market demands. At ETSI, the inhibitors to interoperability that can be encountered during the standards development process are well known. A key part of this process is the development of test specifications for conformance and interoperability, and
22、 the provision of validation services based on many years of experience. On one hand, testing the conformance of every single entity (protocol layer) in a complex system seems often prohibitively expensive. On the other hand, pure interoperability testing does not ensure that entities strictly adher
23、e to standard specifications. For example, ETSI observed that 90 % of tests executed at an interoperability event showed that systems were interoperable. However, only 60 % of these executed tests showed reference points conforming to the standard used to link these systems together. In a production
24、 environment, this would undoubtedly lead to interoperability problems. Over the past few years, a combination of these two testing approaches has evolved. At ETSI, this approach is called interoperability testing with conformance checking in which key reference points are observed during the execut
25、ion of end-to-end interoperability tests to evaluate if the message flow at these points conforms to the requirement stated in standards. So far, this approach has shown very promising results but has mainly applied with manual interoperability testing. The focus of the present document is a generic
26、 methodology for automated interoperability testing with conformance checking of complex distributed systems. The proof of concept of this methodology has been done through a case study in the domain of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). However, also other technologies such as IPv6, Robust Header Compr
27、ession (ROHC), Health Level 7 messaging, grid, cloud, WiMax, IPTV, WiMedia, Voice over IP (VoIP) for air traffic control, and smart cards have been analyzed and considered in the writing of the present document. ETSI ETSI EG 202 810 V1.1.1 (2010-03)51 Scope The present document describes a methodolo
28、gy for automated interoperability testing for the validation of standards, e.g. in the context of interoperability events and for the validation of products against standards. It extends and complements the best working practices presented in EG 202 237 i.1 which targets the certification of product
29、s based on interoperability testing. The present document also proposes a generic framework for interoperability testing of distributed systems and includes guidance on, for example, access to reference points, the establishment and maintenance of test synchronisation, and the assignment of test ver
30、dicts. 2 References References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific.
