What is ISO 21806-3 about?
ISO 21806-3 is part three of the multi-series standard that specifies the conformance test plan (CTP) for the application layer for MOST, a synchronous time-division-multiplexing network, as specified in ISO 21806-2.
ISO 21806-3 specifies conformance test cases (CTCs) in the following categories:
- Device model
- Data and basic data types
- Registry management
- Connection management
- Error management
- Diagnosis
Note-
Interoperability testing is not in the scope of ISO 21806-3.
Who is ISO 21806-3 for?
ISO 21806-3 on Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST application layer conformance test plan is useful for:
- Vehicle manufacturers
- Car infotainment manufacturers and developers
- Vehicle data services providers
- Developers of multimedia and infotainment systems
Why should you use ISO 21806-3?
MOST enable the transport of high-quality service (QoS) audio and video together with packet data and real-time control to support modern automotive multimedia and similar applications. MOST is a function-oriented communication technology to network a variety of multimedia devices comprising one or more MOST nodes.
ISO 21806-3 provides a list that contains all information that is provided by the device manufacturer for conformance testing. ISO 21806-3 also includes remarks and references to corresponding CTCs.
ISO 21806-3 specifies the timeouts to prevent deadlock situations during conformance testing.
ISO 21806-3 lays out conformance test cases for power management and error management.
