3、n (). The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommen- dations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes t

4、he topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1 (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). 1 IT-T Recommendation X.294 was revise

5、d by ITU-T Study Group 7 (1993-1996) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 10th of April 1995.

16、ssment process. The requirements are those necessary to achieve comparability of results of tests on similar implementations performed by different test laboratories. This Recommendation also provides some guidance on the conformance assessment process. The text was developed jointly with ISO/EC JTC

17、1 and the main intent of this revision is to reflect the changes as a result of the work on Protocol Profile Testing Methodology (PPTM) and on Multi-Party Testing Methodology (MFyTM). ii Recommendation X.294 (04195) INTRODUCTION Conformance testing requires mutual understanding and agreement between

18、 the test laboratory and the client. This Recommendation addresses the roles of both the test laboratory and the client during the conformance assessment process, the need to reach mutual agreements between them, and the requirements on each of them. The conformance assessment process is the most vi

19、sible process of conformance testing, where the results of test suite standardization are put to real use. This is also the stage at which there is potentially the most scope for variations to occur. As this Recommendation is concerned with the relatively formal process of testing implementations, i

20、t is important that the number and nature of such variations be very limited. One of the major objectives of standardizing the conformance testing process is to achieve an acceptable and useful degree of comparability of results of conformance assessments of similar implementations. If this is to be

21、 achieved, not only should the same source of tests be used (Le. as specified in appropriate standards), but also the methods of selecting and parameterizing these tests, and presenting their results, should be, to a large extent, the same. This Recommendation addresses the issues which should be ta

22、ken into account, by both the test laboratory and the client, if the necessary consistency of conformance assessment is to be achieved. The target audiences for this Recommendation are the test laboratories and their clients. The test laboratory is responsible for conducting the conformance assessme

23、nt of an OS1 implementation at the request of a client. Typically, test laboratories are: organizations developing or supplying OS1 implementations (first-party test laboratories); organizations willing to verify OS1 implementations themselves before using them (second-party test laboratories); orga

24、nizations, independent of suppliers or users of OS1 implementations, whose business is the testing of such implementations (third-party test laboratories). 1) 2) 3) Clients may be implementors or suppliers of real open systems or other OS1 systems, who are applying for their own implementations to b

25、e tested. Alternatively, they may be procurers of those implementations, or any other interested party. The applicability of this Recommendation is independent of the relationship between the client and the implementation. During the conformance assessment process, the client is responsible for the

26、conformance statements accompanying the System under Test (SUT) and for the configuration of the SUT. Secondary, but related, audiences to whom this Recommendation could also be of interest a) are test realizers; b) c) organizations responsible for the accreditation of first- , second- or third-part

27、y test laboratories; organizations responsible for the issue of test certificates which are based upon the conformance test reports issued by test laboratories; readers of conformance test reports. d) Within this Recommendation, the conformance assessment process relating to both the test laboratory

28、 and the client is divided into three phases: i) preparation for testing; ii) test operation; iii) production of test reports. An overview of these three phases is given in clause 5. Clauses 6 to 9 state requirements on how to conduct these three phases. For the purposes of this Recommendation, it i

29、s assumed that a test laboratory is available and is already organized to provide a conformance assessment service. The test laboratory is assumed to have acquired from a test realizer (whether or not the latter belongs to the same organization) means of Testing ILJTs, for one or more OS1 protocols

30、and according to one or more Abstract Test Methods (ATMs). This Recommendation specifies requirements on the test laboratory with respect to the conduct of the conformance assessment process for a particular client. . Recommendation X.294 (04/95) 111 m 4862593 0606776 TT m Similarly, it is assumed t

31、hat a client is ready to apply for conformance assessment of an OS1 implementation. The client is assumed to be familiar with the appropriate standards, with the concepts of conformance testing and Abstract Test Methods, and to be ready to cooperate with the test laboratory. This Recommendation spec

32、ifies requirements on the client with respect to both the testability of the proposed SUT and the conduct of the conformance assessment process. It is recommended that this Recommendation be read in conjunction with Recommendation X.290. This Recommendation is also to published as ISOhEC 9646-5: 199

34、) 1 Scope 1.1 This Recommendation specifies requirements on both the test laboratory and the client, for the conduct of the conformance assessment process. The requirements are those necessary to achieve comparability of results of tests on similar implementations performed by different test laborat

This Recommendation also provides some guidance on the conformance assessment process. 1.2 The requirements include: a) b) c) requirement

36、s for the testability of the implementation with respect to Abstract Test Methods; general requirements on the test laboratory and the client applicable to any conformance assessment process; exchange of technical and administrative information, including a System Conformance Statement, an Implement

39、performed; e) requirements for the structure and content of the conformance test reports that document the results of the conformance assessment process.
