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 Compliance. 
 
Certification for compliance can be achieved either through self-certification, using the DLMS Test Tool, or by engaging DLMS UA Accredited Test Laboratories to conduct the tests.

The DLMS Test Tool is a next-generation combined platform, designed to accelerate development time and increase confidence levels when submitting a device for certification. It supports completion of the DLMS UA Qualification Program by generating a test report, which can be submitted to the DLMS Qualification portal for compliance certification.

The DLMS Test Tool (DLMS TT) is software that implements Abstract Test Cases (ATSs) as Executable Test Suites (ETSs). It runs on a PC with 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, or Windows 11. The DLMS TT acts as a DLMS/COSEM test client, while the Implementation Under Test (IUT) serves as a DLMS/COSEM server. The DLMS TT facilitates the selection, parametrization, and execution of the ETSs using information from the Conformance Test Information (CTI) file and data obtained from the IUT. The DLMS TT supports the DLMS/COSEM 3-layer, connection-oriented HDLC and TCP/IP communication profiles, as well as connectionless protocols such as UDP and CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol).
