<strong>Certification</strong> GoalThe <strong>Continua</strong> <strong>Certification</strong> program provides ahigh level of assurance that a devicedisplaying the <strong>Continua</strong> Certified Logo hasbeen designed <strong>to</strong> meet the requirements of the<strong>Continua</strong> Design Guidelines and its underlyingstandards and specifications.6


Scope of <strong>Certification</strong> ProgramOut of ScopeIn ScopeCompliance/Conformance Testing –Verifying that a device meets arequirement in astandard/specification.Interoperability Testing – Verifyingthat two devices work <strong>to</strong>getherin the intended way.Non-functional testing –Testing not associated witha specification (i.e.,performance, stress,scalability, availability,reliability, usability, etc.)User Interface testing -Verifying the userinterface is well designedand reliable.Regula<strong>to</strong>ry testing – Tests<strong>to</strong> assist vendors withregula<strong>to</strong>ry compliance.


Scope of <strong>Certification</strong> Program(cont.)Testing Areas:1. Data/pro<strong>to</strong>col (i.e. 11073 PHD) testing – includes testingconformance <strong>to</strong> data and messaging standards.2. Transport (i.e. Blue<strong>to</strong>oth, USB, Zigbee) – includes testingconformance <strong>to</strong> transport specification andinteroperability at the transport level. This is tested by thetransport SIG.3. Interoperability Testing – includes testing conformance <strong>to</strong><strong>Continua</strong> Interoperability Guidelines.
