1 Interoperability Verification Testing (IVT) Overview
1.1
Interoperability Verification Testing Requirement
Successful completion of Endpoint / USB Accessory IVT is required for Partner Products to be designated as "Cisco
Compatible" and for Partner Products to be listed in the Cisco Solution Marketplace.
1.2
IVT Objectives
The IVT program's objective is to provide verification that 3rd party Partner product(s) meet the following criteria:
●
Successfully Integrate and scale as defined by Cisco design guides and 3
●
Install and functionally operate/perform as indicated in collateral and specifications (from integration perspective only)
●
Successfully integrate with Cisco products while not adversely affecting Cisco product operation or the integrated
solution.
●
Use only supported integration methods. Supported integration methods (API's and protocols) can be found on the
DevNet web site:
1.3
IVT Focus
Testing is focused on integration points of Partner products and Cisco products, not on the Partner product itself, to
ensure quality integrations between 3rd party products and Cisco products.
Test categories include:
●
Installation and connectivity of partner product
●
Validation of integrated features between Cisco product and partner product
●
Negative testing (connectivity failure, redundancy, recovery)
●
Performance and load testing of integration points/functionality, using a subset of functional test scenarios
