ISO/TS 10303-325:2004 specifies the abstract test suite to be used in the conformance testing of implementations of ISO 10303-225. The following are within the scope of ISO/TS 10303-325:2004:

• the specification of the test purposes associated with ISO 10303-225;
• the verdict criteria to be applied during conformance testing of an implementation of ISO 10303-225 using ISO 10303-21 or ISO 10303-22;

NOTE The verdict criteria are used to ascertain whether a test purpose has been satisfactorily met by an implementation under test (IUT) within the context of a given test case.

• the abstract test cases to be used as the basis for the executable test cases for conformance testing.

The following are outside the scope of ISO/TS 10303-325:2004:

• the creation of executable test cases;
• test specifications for tests other than conformance testing such as interoperability or acceptance testing;
• other implementation methods.
