Protocol implementation conformance statement
Appearance
A Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement or most commonly PICS is a structured document which asserts which specific requirements are met by a given implementation of a protocol standard. It is often completed as a record of formal protocol conformance test results, and some automated test systems machine-author a PICS as output. A potential buyer or user of the implementation can consult the PICS to determine if it meets his or her requirements.
ETSI publish an example proforma PICS showing which information would be completed. PICS may be used with TTCN-3.
