X3D Conformance Testing Program
See our most recent PR announcement on the Conformance Testing Program: Web3D Consortium Announces X3D Conformance Testing Program
The Conformance Testing Program is intended to promote consistent and reliable implementations of the X3D specification by many vendors across multiple platforms. This consistency will help drive rapid evaluation, deployment and acceptance of the X3D standard for real-time interactive 3D visualization.
The X3D Conformance Suite uses a diverse set of 3D rendering and behavior examples to verify and validate that hardware and/or software faithfully execute the X3D interchange profile. The Suite consists of 120 tests covering 12 (twelve) components ranging from networking and rendering to animation and navigation. In order for a product to claim X3D conformance and use the X3D trademark, it must correctly and fully implement at least 95% of the discretionary tests, and 100% of all mandatory tests. This level of rigor will ensure developers and consumers can depend on the integrity and robustness of products featuring the X3D trademark - X3D content will render as expected and that it will render the same way on any X3D conformant product on any device (e.g. desktop PC, digital set top TV box, mobile phone) using any operating system.
Access to the X3D Conformance Test Suite will be available to any interested company. There is a one-time Test Suite access fee that is waived for current Web3D members. The Conformance Process document defines a peer review Conformance Testing Procedure by which conformant products may use the X3D trademark, available after paying a Conformance Test submission fee that covers the costs of development and maintenance of the Conformance Program.
