Abstract
This paper proposes a conformance test method for Management Information Base (MIB) and discusses an implementation and an evaluation of a MIB tester. The proposed test method is based on and an extension of the existing conformance test method for protocol entity. We show the practical solution to the scope of testing by conducting the capability test to all test cases and the behaviour test limited to the test cases actually used. In the implementation, the MIB tester generates test scenarios for capability tests automatically. We evaluate the proposed test method and demonstrate the effectiveness of the MIB tester through its application to the actual agents.
