Introduction
While the Internet of Things (IoT) is on the rise, the quality assurance of interconnected systems becomes an
ever-increasing challenge. Within the last years, many different IoT protocols came to the fore. The MQ Telemetry
Transport (MQTT) protocol is one of the most popular representatives as many surveys have shown.
Although many implementations for the MQTT protocol exist, it lacks in satisfying quality assurance. While many IoT
components communicate over standardized protocols, communication protocols for IoT like MQTT or CoAP evolved
over time without a holistic approach for quality assurance.
In the present document the conformance testing is presented. It provides a basis for interoperability testing and
performance testing. The latter is presented in ETSI TS 103 597-3 [i.3].

1 Scope
The present document provides a test specification, i.e. an overall test suite structure and catalogue of test purposes for
the MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT). It will be a reference base for both client-side test campaigns and server-side test
campaigns addressing the conformance issues.

TSS Test Suite Structure
4 Test Suite Structure
4.0 Introduction
The following two clauses describe the TSS. In the first one an MQTT server as SUT is considered and in the latter, an
MQTT client as SUT is considered.
The structure itself is partly derived from the MQTT specification [1] but changed due to overlapping functions that
cannot be tested separately.
4.1 Broker as SUT
1) All mandatory message data fields
a) CONNECT Control Packet
i) Fixed Header
1) Header Flags
ii) Variable Header
1) Protocol Name
2) Protocol Level
3) Reserved Flags
4) Last Will Testament Flags
5) Credentials Flags

4.3 TP naming convention
TPs are numbered, starting at 001, within each main scope. The main scopes are organized according to the TSS. Some
TPs may not have a second level scope.
Table 1: TP identifier naming convention scheme
Identifier: TP____<2nd_lvl_scope>*_*
TP = Test Purpose Fixed to TP
= Protocol name Fixed to MQTT
= Type of IUT Client or Broker
= Main scope Scope of the protocol (feature)
Name of the scoped Control Packet
FEAT Protocol Features
<2nd_lvl_scope> = Second level scope RTND Retained Messages
= Sequential number From 001 to 999
*optional
4.4 TP structure
Each TP has been written in TDL-TO and thus in a structured manner which is consistent with all other TPs. The
intention of this is to make the TPs more formal. In addition, a more readable format is provided by generating tables
out of the TDL-TO format. The defined structure, that has been used, is illustrated in table 2. This table should be read
in conjunction with any TP, i.e. please use a TP as an example to facilitate the full comprehension of table 2. All
structures are defined formally in the TDL Specification ETSI ES 203 119-4 [2].
