5 CoAP Test Cases (DEPRECATED)

5.1 Mapping a USP Record to a CoAP message (DEPRECATED)

Purpose

The purpose of this test is to ensure the EUT can properly use CoAP to transport USP Records.

Functionality Tags

Conditional Mandatory (supports the CoAP MTP)

Test Setup

  1. Ensure that the EUT and test equipment have the necessary information to send and receive USP Records to each other.

5.4 Failed CoAP exchange - timeout (DEPRECATED)

Purpose

The purpose of this test is to ensure the EUT behaves correctly when a timeout occurs at the MTP layer when using CoAP.

Functionality Tags

Conditional Mandatory (supports the CoAP MTP)

Test Setup

  1. Ensure that the EUT and test equipment have the necessary information to send and receive USP Records to each other.
  2. The EUT and Controller are configured to communicate over CoAP.

Test Procedure

  1. Configure the to not send 2.04 Changed responses to CoAP messages

  2. Send a Get message to the EUT with the following structure:

    header {
    msg_id: '<msg_id>'
    msg_type: GET
}
body {
    request {
        get {
            param_paths: 'Device.LocalAgent.'
        }
    }
}

  3. Wait for a GetResponse message from the EUT.

  4. Prevent the Controller from sending a 2.04 Changed CoAP response.

  5. Wait for EUT to retry sending the GetResponse.

  6. Allow the Controller to send a 2.04 Changed CoAP response.

Test Metrics

  1. The EUT attempts to retransmit the GetResponse message after not receiving a 2.04 Changed from the Controller.

5.5 Failed CoAP Exchange - Invalid Method (DEPRECATED)

Purpose

The purpose of this test is to ensure the EUT correctly responds when it receives a CoAP message with an invalid method.

Functionality Tags

Conditional Mandatory (supports the CoAP MTP)

Test Setup

  1. Ensure that the EUT and test equipment have the necessary information to send and receive USP records to each other.
  2. The EUT the Controller are configured to communicate over CoAP.

Test Procedure

  1. Send a USP record to the EUT using a CoAP message with method code 0x06.
  2. Wait up to 60 seconds for the EUT to send a CoAP response.

Test Metrics

  1. The EUT sends a reply to the CoAP message with an invalid method code.
  2. The EUT CoAP response uses code 4.05 to indicate an invalid CoAP method.

5.6 Failed CoAP Exchange - Invalid Content-Format (DEPRECATED)

Purpose

The purpose of this test is to ensure the EUT properly responds to CoAP messages that feature invalid Content-Format options.

Functionality Tags
