When two or more entities interact with each other as when they collaborate or communicate, the degree of correctness of the interactions is called interoperability. In software, the necessity of interoperability testing arises when we build a software system in which multiple interacting software entities are employed to perform the function or task of the system. These days as software is more and more being used to solve complex problems and through networking functions of software can be distributed to provide abundant services, the more the interoperability testing becomes important. This paper provides the framework and methodology for interoperability testing by discussing the fundamental concepts and principles that underlie interoperability and interoperability testing and the approaches for practicing interoperability testing.

Interoperability among defense information systems is one of the most important technologies in the modern information and electronic wars. Computer-aided interviewing has been used in popular for measuring the interoperability among information systems in military domain. In this paper, we suggest a new approach, testing after interviewing, in order to resolve the weakness of interviewing approach. In the testing after reviewing approach, the potential level of interoperability predicted by computer-aided interviewing is explored by distributed testing techniques. For this purpose, test requirements of each interoperability level are identified and appropriate testing model and test cases are suggested. Finally, a distributed testing tool is designed for automating the execution of suggested test cases.

The importance of interoperability in modem warfare has been increasing ever since. Korean Ministry of National Defense has constructed and used the Systems Interoperability Test & Evaluation System in order to evaluate level of interoperability among defense information systems. However, as primary targets of SITES were information systems, there is limitation to be applied to weapon systems. This paper proposes an interoperability testing architecture and interoperability testing configuration items which encompass various aspects of interoperability testing. We developed a prototype which proved that the proposal can be realized and useful.

As the web technologies advance, most of applications have being developed as web applications. The web has advantages of high interoperability due to the web standards though the applications run on heterogenous platforms. However, as the systems are growing and have some interoperability problems, the government and the big companies require interoperability testing for new systems. In this paper, we introduce some interoperability issues for web applications and classify them into three groups according to 3-tier client/server architecture. We also propose interoperability testing process and tasks to be performed at each step in the process.

To improve the quality of standards of information and communication, well-structured testing and certification procedure for interoperability must be established. Thus, the testing and certification by well-known organizations is very imperative to verify whether standards meet requirements of minimum components properly that are essential to implement products and services in practice focusing on interoperability testing area. In this paper, we investigate cases of abroad and the current situation of our country in order to establish the well-structured testing and certification system and promote researches for the testing and certification system as a national policy in coincidence with revision of relating systems in interoperability testing area. And then we intend to introduce desirable direction for the testing and certification system.

Railway signaling system is the vital control system in charge of the core for safely train operation, its functional safety must be checked through sufficient verification. Until now, to verify the interoperability of developed railway signaling system, the on-site testing approaches have been applied after testing in laboratory with simulator. This approaches are some limited range of interoperable verification, so more systematic verification interoperability is required. In this paper, the three phases of interoperability verification for railway signaling system was proposed, and methodology for each phases are represented. And also The interoperability validation methodology and supported testing tool for railway signaling system is represented in this paper

Ship STEP is the international standard for the exchange of ship modeling data between heterogeneous systems. It is expected that STEP AP218 can be used for seamless data exchange between various CAD/CAM/CAE systems used in the shipbuilding design process. Although the conformance assessment for standards would maximize the performance and confidence about data exchanges, most research has been directed toward interoperability testing. ISO SC4/TC184 only provides the method for conformance testing, and it can be used with test cases on application protocols. Even though standards have been defined for conformance assessment and testing, there is no organization or association. CAD vendors have focused on interoperability testing for evaluation of the performance of their systems. In this paper, the conformance testing criteria for AP218 have been developed with abstract test cases of ship structures. The requested STEP translator was also reviewed with a developed item pool of testing criteria. The criteria methodology would be a guideline for the development of translators and interfaces. The item pool method of testing criteria for conformance assessment would increase performance and efficiency of data translators for Ship STEP and other standards.

Bluetooth Video Distribution Profile (VDP) defines the protocol and procedures that realize the distribution of video content compressed in a specific format for the efficient use of the limited bandwidth. In this paper, we describe the design of VDP tester based on TTCN-2 (Tree and Tabular Combined Notation), a language standardized by ISO for the specification of tests for real-time and communicating systems. Our work was carried out as a part of supporting a new profile testing module for VDP in PTS (Profile Tuning Suite), a reference test system for Bluetooth interoperability testing. Test demonstration for the interoperability with various VDP solutions at the PTS session in UPF30 (Unplug Fest) showed the validity of the developed tester. Eventually, we introduce the PTS architecture, and show the design and implementation of VDP tester included in the released PTS 3.0 in this paper.

The major concern of component users who develop applications using the existing components is to confirm whether a component is collaborating with the different components in accordance with the requirements. Therefore, interoperability testing whose role is to check whether components collaborate with each other within the new operating environment not within the component development content of each component is considered as an importance research topic. In this paper, we propose a test case generation technique for interoperability test of component based software. The proposed technique defines a test model for generating test cases. The proposed technique generates test models from the use case specification and thereafter from these models, test cases for Interoperability testing are derived. In addition, we describe a tool which Implements the procedures for generating test sequences from test models.

As of an international standard in e-business domains, ebXML solutions are required to be tested and authenticated whether they can satisfy the conformance and interoperability requirements. In this paper, we design and implement the ebXML conformance and interoperability testing tools that observe the standard specification in conformity with ebXML Message Service v2.0, ebXML Registry Service v2.0 and ebXML CPP/A Y2.0. With this regard, our research would serve in building the verification and authentication service infrastructure for fitting standard ebXML e-business solutions with ebXML conformance and interoperability testing tools.
