ISO/IEC 9646 is a multi-part International Standard which specifies a general methodology for testing the conformance of products to OSI specifications which the products are claimed to implement. This part is applicable to all three activities, providing tutorial introductory material, together with definitions of common terms and concepts. Includes tutorial introductory material which provides: (a) an exposition of the meaning of conformance in the context of OSI; (b) a description of the major categories of conformance tests; (c) an introduction to the conformance assessment process; (d) an introduction to the Abstract Test Methods and their applicability; (e) an introduction to the concepts of test suite design. This part describes the relationship between the other parts of ISO/IEC 9646 and the activities involved in conformance testing, and introduces the concept of compliance with respect to the other parts of ISO/IEC 9646.
