A conformance test suite helps to ensure consistency between a specification and the behavior of a product. This paper presents the conformance testing methodology for the Government Smart Card Interoperability Specification. It starts with some basic terminology in the area of testing and discusses a methodology on how to design conformance test. The test strategy used for the design of this conformance test suite uses the eXtended Markup Language (XML) which is a declarative, implementation-neutral markup language. Finally, the paper explores the benefits and limitations with the conformance testing approach for the Government Smart Card Interoperability Specification.

Smart cards (SC) -- credit-card-like devices that use integrated circuit chips to store and process data -- offer a range of potential uses for the federal government, particularly in increasing security for its many physical and information assets. This report reviews the use of SC across the federal government (including identifying potential challenges), as well as the effectiveness of the GSA in promoting government adoption of SC technologies. Recommends, among other things, that GSA establish guidelines for federal building security that address SC technology; that the OMB establish a policy on adoption of SC for physical and logical security; and that NIST continue to improve and update the government SC interoperability specification.
