CIM Test Process Overview

• CIM Test Methodology compatible with

– IEC WG 14

– CIM Users Group

– OpenSG• And possibly MultiSpeak

• Test process defined, documented and repeatable

• Vetted with multiple utilities, vendors and user groups

• Tests designed for multiple implementation environments (test only messages, implementation agnostic)

– Legacy point-to-point

– SOA with or without ESB

– Various ESBs (WebSphere, WebLogic, TIBCO, GlassFish)

• Tests openly available

Next Steps

•Review and update sample abstract test case

– Walked through with group 1/18/2011

–

• Instructions and procedures to connect up to an web service endpoints (e.g. MDMS & CIS)

• POCs at Utilities/EPRI to coordinate testing

• POCs at venders

Status of Next Steps

•Write detailed sample concrete test procedure– Exchange of security certificates

• Certificate exchange

• Code examples

– Firewall setting

• Permission from relevant IT organization

• Port and IP address

– Address Venders’ IPR concerns

– ESB setup and cross-ESB configurations

– POC information of people responsible for executing tests at Utilities, Venders and EPRI.
