Subject: [core] IoT CoAP Plugtest #2 Nov 2012 : Additional Testing scope to cover

From: Zach Shelby <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2012 16:00:27 +0300

The super successful ETSI/IPSO Plugtest that we held at the Paris IETF is now being repeated with an extended scope of tests. Below is further information on the event, and the initial proposed scope of the tests that you can participate in. Feedback on the proposed scope is welcome to Laurent and myself. The registration deadline is September 28th.

There will also be a Workshop on CoAP together with the Plugtest where you can present your latest results and ideas to the larger community. 

Note that DTLS is proposed as a new test area this time - would love to see as many DTLS implementations there as possible. 

Also note that the goal is to test CoAP-12 with all major tickets closed so that the event will be useful in helping us towards RFC. This means the WG and especially the authors, will need to work extra hard to get the last tickets closed and -12 out in the next couple weeks.

>  
> The Plugtests event will run from 28-30 November 2012. Similar to the first event, conformance and interoperability test scenarios based on the IETF CoRE standards for M2M will be proposed to participants. The test scenarios will focus on server and client CoAP end-point implementations and products with these features.
>  
> We are going to provide an updated version of the CoAP Plugtest guide. The new document  will upgrade existing tests and add new ones, based on the following base specifications.
> ·         LINK : it is now a RFC 6690
> ·         CORE:  upcoming version 12, expected available within 2 weeks.
> ·         BLOCK : latest version 09
> ·         OBSERVE: latest version 05
>  
>  
> The scope of the new tests is proposed to cover the following list below:
>  
> We would like to get your feeling or wish on the proposed scope. We will then circulate a draft document.
> Could you please feedback us on the proposed scope and indicate if you would need other test cases or scope ?
>  
> Additional test cases to propose at the Plugtest:
>  
> 1)     Additional CoAP Tests:
>  
> a)     To add OPTIONS testcases for CORE specification:
> ·         Location
> ·         Max age
> ·         Token
> ·         Accept
> ·         If match/ Non match
> b)    BLOCK : To improve the test description , with more explanations. Some participants requested more clarity in the existing test descriptions.
> c)     LINK: To add more test. As the format changed a bit in the latest specification, it is useful to add some format check.
> d)    OBSERVE: Nothing to add, unless you wish
>  
> 2)     Reverse Proxy:
> To check if the resource is served from the cache , to check the max age, or to de-validate a cache entry by a POST, etc …
>  
> 3)     IPSO Application Template:
> To add new test group in the Test guide for IPSO framework, with new paths and resources like Power consumption or light control.
>  
> 4)     Security:
> Some simple security tests. For example, a simple handshake test using pre-shared key, 1 cipher suite, plain text mode).
> If requested, we could also consider more complex tests including Security infrastructure (Cert server …)
> 5)     CoAP Binding of ETSI M2M:
> Tests on CoAP Binding with ETSI M2M primitives.
