WSDL-based ICS proforma and generation method

Abstract

The management information model conformance testing is carried out according to the corresponding implementation conformance statement (ICS) proforma. Each kind of information model should have its own ICS proforma. In this paper, WSDL-based ICS proforma is proposed based on ITU-T methodology for ICS proforma and the grammar rule of WSDL. It provides interface implementers and suppliers a standard format for them to state their implementation of a management information model. Also it can meet all the requirements of information model conformance testing for Web service-based network management interface. At last, it gives an automatic generating method and implements an automatic generating system for WSDL-based ICS proforma. Now, the system has been applied to conformance testing for WebService interface.
