19、This foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI INCITS 423.1-2008.)This multipart standard describes a common set of methodologies and procedures tobe followed for conducting conformance testing for a series of INCITS biometric datainterchange format base standards. The first part, cont

It also provides a set of common elementsfor defining test assertions. Each of the subsequent parts contains specific instruc-tions relevant to a

45、number of biometric data interchange formatstandards for different biometric modalities or technologies. Other standards for addi-tional modalities or technologies are expected to be developed in the future. End us-ers of biometric systems desire to use these standards to ensure that components ofth
46、e biometric system can be substituted with other components from different ven-dors with a minimum of effort, and also to ensure that biometric data produced byone system can be used by another system. In order to achieve this, it is critical thatsystems claiming conformance to the system actually a
47、re conformant, and thus thereis a need for conformance testing methodology standards for each of the biometricdata interchange formats, in order to provide a reasonable degree of assurance thata conformance claim has validity. In fact, no test can be absolutely comprehensiveand prove that a given sy
48、stem is conformant under all possible circumstances, espe-cially when there are optional components of the standard. A well-designed conform-ance test can, however, test all of the most likely sources of problems and ensurethat the system under test conforms under a reasonable set of circumstances, givingassurance, but not a guarantee, of conformance.There are many different types of conformance testing that may be appropriate forthe various biometric data interchange format standards. Some of these tests arehighly specific to each data interchange format but some of them have many com-mon e
