ISO IEC 29109-4:2010 – Information technology — Conformance testing methodology for biometric data interchange formats defined in ISO/IEC 19794 — Part 4: Finger image data
1 Scope
This part of ISO/IEC 291 09 specifies elements of conformance testing methodology, test assertions, and test procedures as applicable to ISO/IEC 1 9794-4.
It establishes
⎯ test assertions of the structure of the finger image data format as specified in ISO/IEC 1 9794-4:2005 (Type A Level 1 as defined in ISO/IEC 291 09-1 :2009),
⎯ test asssertions of internal consistency by checking the types of values that may be contained within each field (Type A Level 2 as defined in ISO/IEC 291 09-1 :2009),
⎯ tests of semantic assertions (Type A Level 3 as defined in ISO/IEC 291 09-1 :2009).
It does not establish
⎯ tests of conformance of CBEFF structures required by ISO/IEC 1 9794-4:2005,
⎯ tests of other characteristics of biometric products or other types of testing of biometric products (e.g.acceptance, performance, robustness, security),
⎯ tests of conformance of systems that do not produce ISO/IEC 1 9794-4:2005 records.
2 Conformance
Biometric data interchange format conformance tests conform to this part of ISO/IEC 291 09 if they satisfy all of the normative requirements related to Clause 6. Specifically, they shall use the test methodology specified in Clauses 6, 7 and 8 of ISO/IEC 291 09-1 :2009, and all Level 1 and Level 2 tests shall use the assertions defined in Table 2 of this part of ISO/IEC 291 09.
Implementations of ISO/IEC1 9794-4:2005 tested according to the methodology specified shall be able to claim conformance only to those biometric data record (BDB) requirements specified in ISO/IEC 1 9794-4:2005 that are tested by the test methods established by this methodology.
Implementations of ISO/IEC 1 9794-4:2005 do not necessarily need to conform to all possible aspects of ISO/IEC 1 9794-4:2005, but only to those ISO/IEC 1 9794-4:2005 requirements that are claimed to be supported by the implementation in an implementation conformance statement (ICS), filled out in accordance with Clause 8 of ISO/IEC 291 09-1 :2009 and Table 1 of this part of ISO/IEC 291 09.
