§ Abstract

This test suite maps one or more repeatable tests to every mandatory conformance requirement. A test result is evidence for a conformance determination, not independent Verification or Recognition.

§ Publication

1. Test Method

The evaluator SHALL test an identified implementation version and exported record package. Each test receives Pass, Fail, Not Applicable or Indeterminate. Not Applicable requires a recorded justification. Indeterminate is not a Pass.

2. Test Cases

IDRequirementMethodExpected resultPass / Fail
RI-T001CONF-01Inspect two exports of the same record.A stable record identifier is present and unchanged.Pass if stable; fail if absent or changes.
RI-T002CONF-02Inspect the exported core record.Party, responsibility, outcome and time fields are explicit.Pass if all are explicit; fail if any is missing.
RI-T003CONF-03Trace the proposal to its asserted authority.Authority identifier and scope are represented.Pass if traceable; fail if absent.
RI-T004CONF-04Create a proposal without a response, then record later activity.No Acceptance is inferred; proposal remains distinguishable.Pass if explicit response is required; fail if silence or action becomes Acceptance.
RI-T005CONF-05Exercise each supported response transition.Acceptance, rejection, delegation, withdrawal and expiry remain distinct.Pass if applicable events are distinct; fail if collapsed.
RI-T006CONF-06Apply multiple state transitions and export the record.Current state and producing history are both available.Pass if both reconstruct; fail if history is replaced.
RI-T007CONF-07Attach or reference evidence outside the implementation store.Evidence relationship survives export without proprietary storage dependency.Pass if portable relationship exists; fail if impossible.
RI-T008CONF-08Inspect every material event.Identity, actor, timestamp, type and relationships are present.Pass if complete; fail on any material omission.
RI-T009CONF-09Attempt material edit or deletion.Change is rejected or preserved as a new attributable event.Pass if no silent mutation; fail otherwise.
RI-T010CONF-10Give the export to an independent reviewer without internal access.Reviewer reconstructs the material lifecycle.Pass if reconstruction succeeds; fail if proprietary access is required.
RI-T011CONF-11Inspect terminology, states and exported claims.Constitutional functions remain distinguishable.Pass if separate; fail if any are collapsed.
RI-T012CONF-12Create a self-assessed conforming record.No independent Verification or Recognition is claimed.Pass if bounded; fail if self-assessment is misrepresented.
RI-T013CONF-13Resolve communicated standing.Registry source, status and query time are returned.Pass if all present; fail if standing is static or source-free.
RI-T014CONF-14Withhold evidence for a required claim.Claim is marked unsupported, unavailable or not established.Pass if limitation is explicit; fail if treated as satisfied.
RI-T015CONF-15Export the conformance package.All applicable tests can be performed without proprietary internals.Pass if testable; fail if mandatory evidence is inaccessible.

3. Overall Result

Conformant requires every applicable mandatory test to Pass. One Fail produces Non-conformant. One unresolved Indeterminate produces Indeterminate unless another test already establishes Non-conformant. Results SHALL identify evidence and evaluator observations.

4. Repeatability and Retesting

A material implementation, Protocol or test-suite change requires a new test record. Earlier results remain historical and MUST NOT be silently extended to an untested version.
