Testing
Interoperability Testing Facility
Ensuring products pass the interoperability test plan and achieve seamless interoperability in real-world scenarios.
Testing Product Interoperability
Through close collaboration with our Members, we have developed a thorough test plan assessing products within various ecosystem applications to simulate a consumer-oriented experience. At the Alliance Interoperability Testing Facility (“Interop Lab”), each product is tested against all ecosystem participants using a range of Software Operating Systems. This process ensures regardless of the platform hosting the ecosystem app, users benefit from an intuitive and user-friendly experience.
Why Interoperability Testing?
The Alliance encourages Member companies to submit their products to the Interop Lab for testing as a way of preventing any potential interoperability issues.
Issues identified within the testing environment can often mirror challenges encountered by consumers in the real world.
The goal of testing is to identify and communicate issues to device manufacturers and participant companies, facilitating prompt resolution prior to impacting consumers in the IoT market.
