Information technology — Conformance testing methodology for biometric data interchange formats defined in ISO/IEC 19794 — Part 1: Generalized conformance testing methodology
This part of ISO/IEC 29109 specifies the concepts@ test types and conformance testing methodologies to test biometric data interchange records@ as specified in ISO/IEC 19794@ or computer algorithms that create biometric data interchange records. This part of ISO/IEC 29109 defines two types (A and B) and three levels (1@ 2 and 3) of conformance testing@ but it only provides a detailed description and methodology for the three levels of Type A testing. In the case of the first two levels@ there are many common test elements@ and so the assertion language for specifying Level 1 and Level 2 test assertions is defined in this part of ISO/IEC 29109. ISO/IEC 29109 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). This part of ISO/IEC 29109 explicitly does not cover the following areas: ?? detailed test elements and assertions or descriptions of any mandatory standard datasets required for testing@ which are provided in the other parts of ISO/IEC 29109@ each of which specifies conformance testing for a specific base standard; ?? testing whether implementations under test (IUTs) that claim to be able to use conformant biometric data interchange records can correctly process such biometric data interchange records (Type B testing).
