1 Scope
The present document contains the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) for SmartAppliances as defined in ETSI TS 103 264 [1]
and ETSI TS 103 267 [2] in compliance with the relevant requirements and in accordance with the relevant guidance
given in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [6].
The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for conformance tests for SmartAppliances equipment
giving a high probability of inter-operability between different manufacturer's equipment.
The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [9] and ISO/IEC 9646-2 [10]) as well
as the ETSI rules for conformance testing (ETSI ETS 300 406 [11]) and the oneM2M Testing methodology ETSI
TS 118 115 [5] are used as a basis for the test methodology.
