Confirming Accessory Functionality

Abstract:

A method of confirming an accessory functionality of an accessory device includes obtaining an accessory device description that includes information regarding the accessory device and identifying a test case based on the accessory device description. The test case is configured to evaluate the accessory functionality and includes a test standard. The method also includes performing, by a test device, a test procedure that corresponds to the test case. The test procedure causes the accessory device to perform an action that corresponds to the accessory functionality. The method also includes recording an observation regarding the action, and determining whether a test result corresponds to a pass condition or a fail condition based on a comparison of the observation to the test standard.
