Design of a test suite for NCAP-to-NCAP communication based on IEEE 1451

IEEE 1451 is an emerging standard that facilitates the communication between smart sensors with network communications for an interoperable sensor network. Moreover, it provides plug-and-play capability through standardization of the transducer interfaces. This paper is on the creation of a test suite that specifies tests such as conformance and functionality. Test cases have been developed to check the communication between the tester NCAP and the NCAP under test, based on IEEE 1451.
