DHS released the DRAFT P25 ISSI/CSSI Conformance Test Tool Validation Compliance Assessment Bulletin for public comment. All comments must be submitted to P25CAP@hq.dhs.gov by COB Tuesday January 31, 2023.
The purpose of this document is to clearly convey the procedures, requirements, and guidance used by the Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology (DHS S&T) P25 Compliance Assessment Program (P25 CAP) for approving and recognizing an Inter-subsystem interface / Console sub-system interface (ISSI/CSSI) Conformance Test Tool (ICCTT) for the conduct of the P25 Compliance assessment.
There are three forms of conformance testing that will be accepted by P25 CAP:
• Assessment Testing using a Designated Test Tool
• Conformance Testing Without a Designated Test Tool
• Alternate Conformance Testing Method
This document details the necessary steps for approval of the first automated test tool. The document also lists the requirements that must be met if one chooses to develop a designated tool for P25 CAP testing; Conformance testing utilizing a Subject Matter Expert (SME) without a designated Test Tool; and the requirements for alternative forms of testing.
Any organizations considering embarking upon the verification of an ISSI/CSSI Conformance Test Tool or anyone who has questions are urged to contact the P25 CAP support team at P25CAP@hq.dhs.gov.
