1 Scope
This document:
— gives information for software testers for the systematic, risk-based testing of biometric systems and larger systems which include biometric subsystems;
— establishes the importance of both biometric standards and software testing standards
and provides overviews of both areas and their standardization;
— specifies the most important biometric standards for software testers of biometric systems ;
— provides information for software testers who wish to conform to both the relevant
biometrics standards and the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 series of software testing standards by providing mappings between the two sets of
standards;
— is not limited to the testing of the technical performance of biometric systems in terms of error rates and throughput rates , but instead covers the testing of the full range of relevant quality characteristics,
such as reliability, availability, maintainability, security, conformance, usability,
human factors, and privacy regulation compliance;
— gives information on applying a ...
