IDACOM DELIVERS GOSIP TEST SCRIPTS GOSIP is the Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in FIPS146. After August 1990, Federal agency procurements of X.25 computer network products must be GOSIP compliant. Every procurement officer will have to verify that an implementation is GOSIP compliant. IDACOM Protocol Testers provide means of testing X.25 implementation for GOSIP compliance. GOSIP specifications are translated directly into executable test scripts that run on all IDACOM testers. These testers provide a consistent and simple user-interface to automatically run the conformance test suites. These testers are used standard bodies worldwide as official conformance test systems. (Reference available upon request) IDACOM's Conform by Design approach to Conformance Testing is a practical method where the implementation is connected to a tester. A set of tests called test suites (containing many test cases) are executed against the implementation. The IDACOM tester then automatically compares the expected and observed behaviour of the implementation under test, and assigns a verdict for each test case and produces a detailed test report. IDACOM testers provide a uniform platform for development testing in which functional and performance apspects of a designs can be tested at each phase of the development cycle. The same testers also supports other development application especially test script generation.
