Overview

EN ISO 19105:2022 - Geographic information: Conformance and testing (ISO 19105:2022) defines a standardized framework, concepts and methodology for conformance testing of geographic information standards. This second-edition (2022) document replaces the 2005 edition and provides guidance for specifying abstract test suites (ATS), grouping abstract test cases into conformance classes, and defining procedures for executing tests and reporting results. Conformance can be claimed for data, software, services, or specifications (including profiles and functional standards). The standard emphasizes a modular approach and supports dependency management between conformance classes to aid configuration management and interoperability.

Key topics and requirements

• Framework for conformance testing: methodology to define what it means to conform to geographic information standards.
• Abstract test suite (ATS): structure for composing tests from abstract test cases; ATS maps tests to normative requirements.
• Conformance classes and clauses: grouping of test cases into classes that represent partial satisfaction of a specification.
• Modular specification and dependency management: relationships between modules and conformance classes support systematic configuration control.
• Executable test suite & reporting: guidance for deriving executable tests and producing conformance test reports and overall result synthesis.
• Supporting artefacts: annexes include sample templates, UML model examples, URI structure, and conformance test report examples to aid implementation.
• Scope limits: explicitly excludes robustness, acceptance and performance testing - focuses on normative requirement verification.
• Other features: alignment with OGC concepts, reference to test case definitions (e.g., ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765), and support for three-valued logic in overall result evaluation.

Practical applications and users

Who uses ISO 19105:

• GIS software developers and vendors seeking to claim conformance to geospatial standards.
• Data providers and service operators validating interoperability and data quality.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies creating or running conformance test suites.
• Standards authors and profile developers defining conformance clauses and test cases.
• QA and configuration managers needing systematic dependency management across modular specifications.

Practical uses:

• Designing abstract and executable test suites for standard compliance.
• Preparing authoritative conformance test reports for product certification or procurement compliance.
• Managing modular specifications and conformance dependencies in product lines or geospatial services.
• Ensuring interoperability across systems that consume or exchange geographic information.

Related standards

• ISO/TC 211 family of geographic information standards (context for ISO 19105).
• References and influences: OGC modular specification concepts; ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765 (test case terminology).

Introduction
The scope of ISO/TC 211 is standardization in the field of digital geographic information. This work
aims at establishing a structured set of International Standards for information concerning objects
or phenomena that are directly or indirectly associated with a location relative to the Earth. These
International Standards can specify, for geographic information, methods, tools and services for data
management (including definition and description). They can also specify the acquisition, processing,
analysing, accessing, presentation and transferring of such data in digital/electronic form between
different users, systems and locations. The work will be linked to appropriate International Standards
for information technology and data, where possible, and provide a framework for the development of
sector-specific applications using geographic data.
This document is based on concepts defined in ISO International Standards which describe conformance
[2]
and testing. Certain components of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) modular specification,
including requirements, requirements classes, abstract test cases and conformance classes, are also
used in this document. While the framework of conformance testing described in these documents is
also used in this document, some concepts have been modified for use in this particular domain.
Conformance testing does not include robustness testing, acceptance testing and performance testing,
because the family of documents on geographic information does not establish requirements for these
areas.
Conformance testing tests a candidate product according to normative requirements which are
required to be satisfied by passing the tests of the abstract test suite. These abstract test cases are
organized into conformance classes in a modular structure, each of which represents a mechanism for
partial satisfaction of the International Standard in terms of the corresponding requirements class.
In the practical sense, it is very important to be able to ensure good quality in testing and conformance
with the relevant requirement(s). This can be achieved via traceability and perhaps even with a
traceability matrix where the requirement and the test result are correlated.
It is recommended that all applicable International Standards regarding geographic information and
the relevant application domains follow the formatting for requirements used in this document.

7 Framework
In an applicable conformance testing framework, a specification contains requirements classes which
are used to derive an abstract test suite (ATS). An implementation under test (IUT) is developed
according to the specification and an executable test suite (ETS) is implemented according to the ATS.
The ETS tests the IUT to determine if it meets the well-defined set of requirements classes as stated in
the normative clauses of the specification. See Figure 1.
Figure 1 — General approach of the conformance testing
8 Modular specification
8.1 General
In summary, the structure of the requirements and requirements classes of the model should be
reflected in the organization of the conformance tests and classes and also in the structure of the
normative clauses in the specification document.
NOTE This makes it more difficult to write a specification, but is expected to make the specification easier to
read and understand. This trade-off is usually worthwhile, since the readers of a specification are always orders
of magnitude more numerous than its contributing authors. Facilitating the implementation of a specification is
an important goal of this document.
8.2 Conformance clause
For a specification to be effective and useful, it is essential to be able to determine conformance to the
specification clearly. For this reason, all applicable documents regarding geographic information and
relevant application domains provide a conformance clause.
Requirement 1 /req/specification/ConformanceClause
ISO 19105:2022(E)
A specification shall contain a conformance clause.
A conformance clause is an entry point for testing conformance. To check if an implementation conforms
to a specification, the conformance clause is first examined to determine what has to be checked. Thus,
conformance clauses shall clearly state which requirements shall be fulfilled to claim conformance to a
specification.
Requirement 2 /req/specification/ConformanceClauseStatement
A conformance clause shall start with the statement of conformance classes to be satisfied in order for
an implementation to claim conformance to that specification.
Requirement 3 /req/specification/ConformanceTarget
The conformance clause shall specify the specification target of each conformance class in the
specification.
Conformance classes modularize abstract test cases (see Annex A). A sample conformance clause
template is provided in Clause B.1.
Requirement 4 /req/specification/ConformanceClauseReference
The conformance clause shall reference the ATS in an annex.
8.3 Conformance classes
Requirement 5 /req/specification/CorrespondenceRequirementsClasses
The requirements classes shall segment the requirements in the specification in a manner consistent
with the conformance classes.
Each requirements class will be in a 1 to 1 correspondence to a similarly named conformance class that
tests all of the requirements class’ requirements.
A sample requirement is provided in Clause B.2
Requirement 6 /req/specification/SpecificationTarget
All requirements in a requirements class shall have the same specification target.
Requirement 7 /req/specification/ConformanceTest
A requirement shall be tested in at least one abstract test case.
Requirement 8 /req/specification/ConformanceClassIdentification
A conformance class shall be identified by a URI.
Requirement 9 /req/specification/ConformanceClassDependency
A conformance class shall specify any other conformance class upon which it is dependent. That other
conformance class shall also be used to test the conformance.
8.4 Abstract test suite
Without considering dependency relationships among conformance classes, the ATS has a hierarchical
structure. Conformance classes may be used to aid planning, development or understanding of the ATS.
[9]
A conformance class is composed of one or many abstract test cases (see Annex C).
An abstract test case is used as the basis for generating an executable test case and is independent of
the IUT.
ISO 19105:2022(E)
Concerning modularization and dependencies, the structure of abstract test cases and classes may
correspond to a directed acyclic-graph of conformance classes (see Annex C).
Requirement 10 /req/specification/ATSStructure
The structure of abstract test cases (ATCs) shall follow the structure of conformance classes.
A sample template is provided in Clause B.3.
Requirement 11 /req/specification/ATCTemplate
An abstract test case shall contain:
a) the test case identifier;
b) the test purpose (optional);
c) the test method (including test verdict criteria);
d) a reference to a specific requirement (optional).
A sample template is provided in Clause B.4.
Requirement 12 /req/specification/ATCIdentifier
An identifier for an abstract test case shall be a URI.
Recommendation 1 /rec/specification/ATSTestPurpose
An abstract test case should include one test purpose in order to provide a precise description of the
objective which it is intended to achieve.
The test purpose of a conformance test case is to test the requirements referenced from the test case.
As this is the case for every conformance test case, explicitly specifying a test purpose is optional.
Requirement 13 /req/specification/ATCTestMethod
A test method for an abstract test case shall contain test verdict criteria of its test purpose.
Requirement 14 /req/specification/ATCTestReference
A reference for an abstract test case shall identify the requirements that are tested.
Permission 1 /per/specification/ATSElements
An ATS may contain other elements than identifier, test method and references to requirements.
[2]
NOTE To provide backward compatibility, it is permitted to include a test type in an ATC. The test type
can be either a basic test or a capability test. Generally, a basic test provides preliminary evidence that an IUT
conforms. Capability tests check that the observable capabilities of the IUT are in accordance with the claimed
capabilities.
9 Modular standard
For an International Standard to be effective and useful, it is essential to be able to determine
conformance to the International Standard clearly. For this reason, all applicable standardization
documents regarding geographic information and relevant application domains provide a conformance
clause.
Requirement 15 /req/standard/Dependency
A modular ISO/TC 211 International Standard shall follow the modular structure specified in Clause 8
of this standard.
ISO 19105:2022(E)
Dependency: https:// standards .isotc211 .org/ 19105/ -1/ 2/ req/ ModularSpecification
