Information technology — Conformance testing methodology for biometric data interchange formats defined in ISO/IEC 19794 — Part 1: Generalized conformance testing methodology

Publication date:   Jul 23, 2009

Scope

ISO/IEC 29109-1:2009 defines the concepts of conformance testing for biometric data interchange formats and defines a general conformance testing framework. It specifies common (modality-neutral) elements of the testing methodology, such as test methods and procedures, implementation conformance claim, and test results reporting. It also provides the assertion language definition and sets forth other testing and reporting requirements, and outlines other aspects of the conformance testing methodology that are generally applicable and not modality-specific. As part of the conformance testing methodology, different types and levels of conformance testing are described, as well as their applicability. The conformance testing methodology specified in ISO/IEC 29109-1:2009 is concerned only with data interchange format records and systems that produce or use these records.
