Specifies a general framework for testing conformance to a computer graphics standard. Includes the following sections; conformance testing requirements within graphics standards; graphics test suite; graphics test service; establishing a test service. Also gives detailed definitions and annexes.

This International Standard specifies a general framework for testing conformance to a computer graphics standard. The general framework described in this International Standard addresses the following six components:

• Conformance in the standard itself;

• Test Requirements document, defining what shall be tested for a computer graphics standard;

• Test Specifications document, addressing the test technique and the content of each test;

• Test method, defining the implementation of the Test Specification document, including the test software;

• Test procedures, defining the application of the test software, which consists of the procedures to be used in conformance testing;

• The establishment of test services.

This International Standard is applicable to all standards within the scope of the subcommittee within ISO/IEC JTC1 responsible for computer graphics and image processing.
