Executive Summary
Testing is crucial to promoting the interoperability and adoption of
standards. To meet this, the Broadband Forum regularly produces test
suites that validate the conformance of implementations of their
standards. This specification defines the test setup, test procedures,
and test metrics to validate Agent and implementations of the
User Services Platform (USP),
published as BBF TR-369.
This test plan is used to validate USP Agent implementations for the
BBF.369 USP Agent Certification Program. Companies
looking to certify their products, or to acquire certified products, can find
full details on the program, approved test tools and labs, and the list of
certified products
here.
Purpose
This purpose of this document is to provide a definitive guide for validating
the compliance of USP Agents in accordance with the specification.
Scope
The tests defined below are intended to validate the specific
requirements outlined in the USP specification, as well as those
requirements defined in the Device:2 Data Model for USP Agents for
objects, parameters, commands, and events necessary for the operation of
USP.
