This International Standard specifies a general framework for testing conformance to a computer graphics standard. The general framework described in this International Standard addresses the following six components:
- Conformance in the standard itself;
- Test Requirements document, defining what shall be tested for a computer graphics standard;
- Test Specifications document, addressing the test technique and the content of each test;
- Test method, defining the implementation of the Test Specification document, including the test software;
- Test procedures, defining the application of the test software, which consists of the procedures to be used in conformance testing;
- The establishment of test services.
This International Standard is applicable to all standards within the scope of the subcommittee within ISO/IEC JTC1 responsible for computer graphics and image processing.
