Conformance testing
About the service
CEF e-Delivery offers two different types of testing services:
- Conformance Testing service
- Connectivity Testing service
The goal of the CEF eDelivery Conformance Testing service is to verify that an implementation of the CEF eDelivery Access Point and SMP specifications, a software package either commercial or Open Source, conforms to the relevant CEF eDelivery specifications.
The goal of the CEF eDelivery Connectivity Testing service is to test if a newly installed AS4 Access Point, conformant with the CEF eDelivery specifications, can successfully communicate with the sample AS4 Access Point hosted by the European Commission or if a newly installed SMP server, conformant with the CEF eDelivery specifications, can respond to sample requests. If successful, these tests confirm that the relevant component is in all likelihood correctly deployed and configured.
The following specifications are tested within the scope of the eDelivery Conformance testing service:
