Principles and Practices in Interoperability Testing

Workshop Overview

Interoperability in the context of software refers to “the capability of different programs to exchange data via a common set of exchange formats, to read and write the same file formats, and to use the same protocols.”

Inter-op testing is particularly challenging for testers who might have control over the device under test and not on the devices with which it is supposed to interact. The information that a tester needs to find during inter-op testing is different than the usual information he finds while testing a specific product. It could be a challenge for many to shift the focus after being biased on the product for quite some time.

Workshop Benefits

After the completion of the course, the participants would be able to:

• Introduction to skilled testing.
• Understanding the mission.
• Collecting test requirements at inter op context.
• Set up for inter op.
• Collecting test data at inter op context.
• Planning for inter op testing.
• Performing inter op testing.
• Information and patterns to look for while performing inter op testing
• Recording information and test results.
• Investigating bugs that emerge out of inter op testing.
