Definition: Conformance Testing ABB is an Application Component that enables a structural and modular approach for implementing the validation of the application or service to meet the requirements of a standard or specification Source: NIST Source reference: https://www.nist.gov/itl/ssd/information-systems-group/conformance-testing Last modification: 2024-01-28 Identifier: http://data.europa.eu/dr8/ConformanceTestingApplicationComponent LOST view: Technical view - application EIRA concept: eira:ArchitectureBuildingBlock ABB name: eira:ConformanceTestingApplicationComponent Example: The following implementation is an example on how this specific Architecture Building Block (ABB) can be instantiated as a Solution Building Block (SBB): Interoperability Testbed - The Test Bed allows users to execute predefined test cases on their systems in order to test the conformance to standards and requirements, simulate a web-service, validate content and test a complete message exchange protocol. The Testbed manages test cases and users, and orchestrates domain-specific components, the domain-specific logic is in separate components that are used via web services. Test results are provided in a standardised, machine-readable format. The Test Bed also offers a test registry and repository (TRR) to store test artefacts (assertions, test cases, validation schemas, etc.) and compile test services (validation services, simulator services, etc.).
