Data communication between two entities only works if both use a proper implementation of the same interface technology. The easiest way to prove interoperability between both parties is to spy into the transmission data using a trace tool. The origin of communication errors can be detected by analysing the analog signals and by interpreting the recorded bytes.
Interoperability testing, if based on the analysis and interpretation of the exchanged data, offers a first hint and quick indication for possible reasons of communication errors. Testing (that means running predefined test cases) proves the correct design of the most important interface features in a lab situation, whereas interoperabilty testing enables the analysis of the actual communication between real components in the field. It is therefore closer to the problems occuring in real life.
As one of the pioneers in the testing industry, COMPRION has understood that interoperability is essential from the very beginning. Many of our products result from the close cooperation with our customers, meaning that their feedback is integrated in the further development. Working closely together with all involved standardization organizations, COMPRION offers compatible hardware and software tools that help you to achieve interoperability.
COMPRION's monitoring tools are made for prove interoperability mainly between handsets and smart cards and between components communicating on the NFC channel. The control software behind all these tools is COMPRION's Interoperability Test Center. It is an outstanding solution which records, displays, and analyzes communication between a smart card and a terminal. This solution allows convenient and comprehensive signal and protocol analysis. This software works with Move 2, MiniMove, CL Verify A, Spectro 2, and Spectro TP.
