Compatibility Test Tools

Test Tools

DLMS UA develops test tools to support product development and facilitate the completion of the DLMS UA Qualification Process to obtain the DLMS UA Product Qualification Certificate for Compatibility.

Compatibility certification can be achieved by submitting a product to a DLMS UA Accredited Test Laboratory, where it will be tested in a controlled “golden environment” using the test tools. The laboratory will generate test reports and submit them to DLMS UA for certification.

DLMS UA also provides test tools to assist members during the product development phase, allowing them to pre-test devices before submitting them for compatibility certification.

iDTT Development Test Tool

iDTT is a tool designed to accelerate development time and increase confidence levels before submitting a product for IDIS Package 3 compatibility certification. The excerpt for IDIS Package 3 can be found here.

The iDTT licensee can configure the test tool according to implemented functionalities and verify them using defined DLMS UA test scripts.

Technical details

The iDTT is a software that implements Abtstract Test Cases dedicated to the IDIS Package 3 specification.

The iDTT runs on a PC under 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 (from iDTT 3.0V108).

The iDTT acts as a DLMS/COSEM test client whereas the Device Under Test (DUT) acts as a DLMS/COSEM server.

The iDTT allows the selection, parametrization and execution of the Test Scripts using the information taken from the Conformance Test Information (CTI) file and the information obtained by the iDTT from the DUT.

Each license can be registered on three devices.

Golden Devices & Golden Environment
