Abstract

A conformance Test suite helps to ensure consistency between a specification and the behavior of a product. This paper presents the conformance testing methodology for the Government Smart Card Interoperability Specification. It starts with some basic terminology in the area of testing and discusses a methodology on how to design conformance test. The test strategy used for the design of this conformance test suite uses the extended Markup Language (XML), which is a declarative, implementation-neutral markup language. Finally, the paper explores the benefits and limitations with the conformance testing approach for the Government Smart Card Interoperability Specification.
