Abstract

Recently the biometric recognition technology is intensively studied and the standardization of the technology has been highly demanded for its commercialization. Currently many biometric recognition products are being developed based on the BioAPI(Biometric Application Programming Interface) specification. However, the reliable testing tools (or scenarios) to evaluate performanve and conformance of the products are not shown yet. In this paper, a conformance testing method is presented, which verifies a biometric recognition system to meet the requirements of the BioAPI standard. Two different testing procedures are used in the proposed method. The first procedure evaluates that each functions offered in the BioAPI specification are correctly implemented and that the functions are actually used in the system. Through the procedure, a BSP(Biometric Service Provider) system is executed on the framework of the BioAPI functions. It requires selection of parameters and precedent functions that should be executed first. The second procedure evaluates the abilities of module management, handling operations and verification process by the analusis of the test cases. It tests the correctness of the system operation when a testing scenario is given. The proposed testing method is applied on a fingerprint verification BSP using the sample BSP provided by the BioAPI consortium. The experimental results shows the benefits of the proposed testing method.
