Draft
Programme
ITU Forum on Conformance and Interoperability Testing
in CIS and Europe Regions
Moscow
(Russia)
9-11 November 2011 |
|
|
What is
conformance and interoperability testing, and why is it important?
Conformance testing measures how accurately a product implements a
technical specification. The degree of compliance helps vendors and
users of the equipment to evaluate how the equipment will perform in the
network where it will integrate with other network devices to provide an
offered network service. Interoperability testing measures if two or
more products correctly implement the technical specifications necessary
to ensure successful integration supporting particular communication
protocols. Conformance and interoperability testing is important to
identify the non-compliance aspects of the equipment being tested, as
defined by accepted standards in the industry, that may interfere in the
quality of the network service being provided. High quality performing
products available for commercial use will accelerate widespread
deployment of the network technologies and their associated network
services.
For
service providers, conformance and interoperability testing is necessary
to reduce the probability of errors being introduced during the network
integration period, which can impact commercial deployment schedules.
Besides the financial costs associated with the resources required to
support an extended deployment schedule, other costs may manifest in
lost market share or of customers experiencing the impact of poorly
tested services.
Many service providers will require proof of compliance before accepting
a product into its network. By taking a proactive approach, equipment
manufacturers have the opportunity to any correct non-compliances, and
improve the marketability of the product. |
