SIMULATORS

Simulator Tools GoalGoal –Test the interoperability of an application –Simulator is not a reference implementation –Simulator controlled to perform test cases TargetTarget –Developers –Testers InterfaceInterface –GUI for humans to interact with the tool –Network socket for the protocol tested –Web service to call validation tool, –Dynamic access to coded value set

TEST MANAGEMENT TOOL

Test Management Platform Registration of systemsRegistration of systems –What to test -> select test plan(s) Provide list of test to performProvide list of test to perform –Conformance testing (test to be executed before meeting the actual test partners) Simulators + validatorsSimulators + validators –Interoperability testing (test to be executed system to system)
