Abstract
The conventional protocol conformance test methods are not able to test all system components effectively. If these problems are to be overcome, direct access to the protocols is absolutely vital. The ISO 9646 conceptual test method offers direct access to the Implementation Under Test. However, this method requires an extra test interface. A logical step would be the use of the OSI management interface to perform protocol conformance tests. This paper describes the technical details and opportunities of a new ISO standard that is currently being developed. With this new approach, the test process becomes cheaper and faster, and test coverage will be much higher.
