MAP conformance test center

Abstract
This report is a summary of an MMS-testsystem-demonstration held in the MAP-Test-Center of the IITB. The specific details presented within that demonstration are not included in this report. Instead, we give an overview over the purpose and the procedure of conformance tests at the IITB. Conformance tests are used to check the conformance of a given communication-protocol-implementation against the protocol specification, which is usually an international standard. Conformance testing is done by communication of the testsystem, residing on a test center computer, with the implementation under test, residing on a vendor computer, using the underlying protocol layers.
