OMA and Interoperability
Fast paced innovation and development have
resulted in increased demand for interoperability
and inter-working in a multi-party environment
OMA has a commitment to increase the number
of Enabler specifications in which
implementations are tested
OMA TestFests - Verification of specification
interoperability, stability and quality
OMA is committed to reducing the time to market
with open specifications which are tested for
quality through its IOP program

OMA TestFest Benefit to Members
By participating in an OMA TestFest,
companies can:
Expand their market opportunities by ensuring
that their products are interoperable with other
industry implementations of OMA specifications
Avoid costs and delays in product deployments by
resolving specification issues before deployment
Participate in the identification and resolution of
technical issues to help bring new products and
services to market much quicker

OMA Test Tools
IOP program also facilitates enabler test
tools
No longer mandates test tools as entry criteria
to OMA TestFests
Although continuing to work with test tool
industry to develop TTCN-3-based
Conformance Test Cases
Plan to make TTCN-3 Code available
Test Tool Industry will incorporate TTCN-3 code into their tools
Members can license tool from industry
Self test of implementations in own lab and
Results log file can be made available to customers
