CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 10729-2-97 (R2001)

The international community has decided to make this standard available only in the English language version. It has been adopted as a National Standard of Canada on this basis. This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 10729-2:1995. 1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 10729 specifies a test suite structure and test purposes for the whole of the ASN.1 basic encodings, as defined in ISO/IEC 8825-1. This part of ISO/IEC 10729 does not specify how the conformance tests are to be realized or used, nor how the test results are to be presented or used. NOTE - The choice of test method may restrict the test purposes which can be realized. The test suite structure and test purposes specified in this part of ISO/IEc 10729 form a generic framework for the specification of abstract test suites. Any compliant generic or abstract test suite needs to be based not only on this part of ISO/IEC 10729, but also on some identified abstract syntax which determines the specific ASN.1 types and values to be used in the abstract test cases associated with the test purposes defined in this part of ISO/IEC 10729. NOTE - Since abstract test suites for ASN.1 encodings are based on abstract syntaxes, multiple generic or abstract test suites for ASN.1 encodings may be necessary for application contexts which contain more than one abstract syntax. This part of ISO/IEC 10729 does not include a general assessment of performance, reliability or robustness of the relevant protocol implementations, nor an assessment of the design of the ASN.1 BEr encoder/decoder.
