Definitions for the SNIA-CTP SMI-Client Version 1.0 Conformance Test

HTTPS/SSL Communications: Participants are offered the option to communicate with the SMI providers using SSL communications. HTTP communications are used if this option is declined.

Core Discovery Tests: Participants are offered the ability to test following discovery test cases. They do not have to pass all tests, though, to be considered conforming to the SMI-S specification. They have to pass a minimuum of 75% of the tests in each discovery category. For example, a participant must pass a minum of 12 of the 16 test cases in the array category to be considered conformant to the SMI-S specification.
