ANSI INCITS 423.4-2009 pdf download Conformance Testing Methodology Standard for Biometric Data Interchange Format Standards– Part 4: Conformance Testing Methodology for INCITS 381-2004, Finger Image-Based Data Interchange Format
1 Scope This part of ANSI INCITS 423 is concerned with conformance testing of implementations claiming conformance to the Finger Image-Based Data Interchange Format specification as per ANSI INCITS 381 -2004. Further, this part of ANSI INCITS 423 is concerned with testing only of the Biometric Data Interchange Records (BDIR) requirements as defined in ANSI INCITS 381 -2004. For the purposes of this part of ANSI INCITS 423, and as also described in Part 1 : Gener- alized Conformance Testing Methodology of ANSI INCITS 423, conformance testing of the CBEFF requirements as set forth in ANSI INCITS 381 -2004 is not within the scope of this part of ANSI INCITS 423. This part of ANSI INCITS 423 is not concerned with testing of other characteristics of biometric products or other types of testing of biometric products (i.e., acceptance, performance, robustness, security). Any organization contemplating the use of test methods defined in this part of ANSI INCITS 423 should carefully consider the constraints on their ap- plicability. For the purposes of this part of ANSI INCITS 423, of the two types (A and B) and three levels (1 , 2, and 3) of conformance testing as defined in ANSI INCITS 423.1 , only Type A and Levels 1 and 2 are within the scope of this part of ANSI INCITS 423. Selected test cases and assertions that define Level 3 and Type B conformance test methods and procedures are included in this part of ANSI INCITS 423 as informative materials. Materials identified in this part of ANSI INCITS 423 as guidelines are suggestions or options, as are all examples, notes, and footnotes.
2 Conformance Conformance testing methodology implementations (conformance test suites or CTS) that claim conformance to this part of ANSI INCITS 423 shall satisfy the normative requirements of the methodology for those levels of test they are claiming to perform, as described in Clause 6. Additionally, implementations of Level 1 or Level 2 tests shall use the assertions defined in Clause 7 with the specific assertion details given in the relevant subsequent clauses of this part of ANSI INCITS 423. Implementations of ANSI INCITS 381 -2004 shall be able to claim conformance only to those re- quirements specified in ANSI INCITS 381 -2004 that are tested by the test methods specified in this part of ANSI INCITS 423.
