Introducing the ISA2 test bed Interoperability Test Bed ISA2 Action 2016.25 Project Officer: Susanne Wigard EUROPEAN COMMISSION Directorate-General for Informatics (DIGIT)

What is an interoperability test bed? Software and hardware comprising a complete platform Purpose is to make testing easier (for systems and testers) An interoperability test bed puts the focus on Interoperability testing (system A can talk to system B) Conformance testing (content conforms to specifications) ISA2 Action 2016.25 aims to establish a standards-driven test bed service and help the interoperability testing community

What can it be used for? Test conformance to standards and specifications Simulate a web service for clients to test against Validate content sent through various means Test a complete message exchange protocol Functional or regression testing Performance testing Penetration testing Cases with sensitive test data Do not use it for

Why ISA2’s test bed service? Benefits Offered services Standards-based1 Customisable to fit user needs Use as a service or setup locally Growing list of users (CEF, CEN, eSENS, BRIS, IRI, LRI, e-Evidence, ESPD, TED, EIRA, …) Support test case authoring Develop test components Hosting (services, test instances) Test bed operation Help desk services User and developer support 1 Based on the software and specifications of the CEN Workshop Agreement: Global eBusiness Interoperability Test Bed (GITB)

How does it work? Test bed manages test cases and users, and orchestrates domain-specific components Domain-specific logic is in separate components that are used via web services
