eDelivery Connectivity testing

About the service

e-Delivery offers two different types of testing services:

• Connectivity Testing service
• Conformance Testing service

The goal of the eDelivery Connectivity Testing service is to test if a newly installed AS4 Access Point, conformant with the eDelivery specifications, can successfully communicate with the sample AS4 Access Point hosted by the European Commission. If successful, these tests confirm that the new Access Point is in all likelihood correctly deployed and configured.

The goal of the eDelivery Conformance Testing service is to verify that an implementation of the eDelivery Access Point and SMP specifications, a software package either commercial or Open Source, conforms to the relevant eDelivery specifications.

The eDelivery Support Team facilitates the Connectivity Testing by making available a sample AS4 Access Point in a cloud environment, as well as providing guidelines and support during the testing process.
