ISO IEC 29109-1 pdf download – Information technology — Conformance testing methodology for biometric data interchange formats defined in ISO/IEC 19794 — Part 1: Generalized conformance testing methodology
1 Scope
This part of lSO/IEC 29109 specifies the concepts, test types and conformance testing methodologies to testbiometric data interchange records, as specified in lSO/IEC 19794,or computer algorithms that createbiometric data interchange records. This part of lSO/EC 29109 defines two types (A and B) and three levels(1, 2 and 3) of conformance testing, but it only provides a detailed description and methodology for the threelevels of Type A testing. In the case of the first two levels, there are many common test elements,and so theassertion language for specifying Level 1 and Level 2 test assertions is defined in this part of lSO/EC 29109.ISOnEc 29109 is not concerned with testing of other characteristics of biometric products or other types oftesting of biometric products (i.e.acceptance, performance, robustness, security).
This part of lSO/IEC 29109 explicitly does not cover the following areas:
detailed test elements and assertions or descriptions of any mandatory standard datasets required fortesting,which are provided in the other parts of lSo/IEC 29109, each of which specifies conformancetesting for a specific base standard;
testing whether implementations under test (IUTs) that claim to be able to use conformant biometric datainterchange records can correctly process such biometric data interchange records (Type B testing).
2Conformance
Biometric data interchange format conformance tests that claim conformance to this part of lSO/IEC 29109shall satisfy the normative requirements of the methodology for those levels of test they are claiming toperform, as specified in Clauses 6,7 and 8.
Additionally, any Level 1 or Level 2 tests shall use the assertion types defined in Clause 7 with the specificassertion details given in the relevant subsequent parts of lSOnIEc 29109.
lmplementations of ISO/IEC 19794 tested according to the methodology specified in ISO/IEC 29109 mayclaim conformance only to those requirements specified in ISOIEC 19794 that are tested by the test methodsestablished by this methodology.

ISOIEC 19794-1:2006, Information technology — Biometric data interchange formats —Part 1: Framework
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISOnEC 19794-1 and the following apply.
4.1
assertion
specification for testing a conformance requirement in an implementation under test expressed in a formalassertion definition language
4.2
assertion test
specification of software or procedural methods that generate the test outcomes used for assessment ofconformance to an assertion
NOTEAdapted from the definition of “assertion test” in ISOIEC 13210:1999.
4.3
attestation
issue of a statement, based on a decision that fulfillment of specified requirements has been demonstratedNOTEAdapted from the definition of “attestation” in ISOIEC 17000:2004.
4.4
base standard
part of lSOIEC 19794 containing the specification that is the subject of the conformance testing
4.5
biometric characteristic
biological and behavioural characteristic of an individual that can be detected and from which distinguishing.repeatable biometric features can be extracted for the purpose of automated recognition of individuals
4.6
biometric data interchange recordBDIR
data package containing biometric data that claims to be in the form prescribed by a base standard
NOTE lf the BDIR is encapsulated in a Common Biometric Exchange File Fomat (CBEFF) record, then the BDIR isalso a biometric data block (BDB), as defined in lSO/IEC 19785 (all parts), but this will not always be the case for datarecords defined in ISO/IEC 19794.
4.7
certification
third-party attestation related to products[ISOnIEC 17000:2004]
4.8
conformance
fulfillment by a product, process, or service of all relevant specified conformance requirements
4.9
conformance requirement
requirement stated in a base standard and defined in a finite, measurable, and unambiguous manner
NOTEAdapted from the definition of “conformance requirement” in lSOIEC 13210:1999.
4.10
conformance test
specified technical procedure of conformance testing
