Patent ID: 8065662

Claim:
A system for compatibility testing comprising: a hardware processor; a test suite executing on the hardware processor and comprising a plurality of compatibility tests, wherein the test suite is configured to: use a provider interface to request biometric sample data for at least one compatibility test of the plurality of compatibility tests, wherein the biometric sample data corresponds to a biometry application programming interface (API) implementation; receive the requested biometric sample data using the provider interface; execute, using the requested biometric sample data, the at least one compatibility test to obtain a test result; and determine, based on the test result, a compatibility of the biometry API implementation with a biometry API specification; and a provider configured to implement the provider interface, wherein the provider supplies the requested biometric sample data to the test suite, wherein a type of the biometric sample data is determined from the biometry API specification, and wherein the provider interface comprises functionality to request biometric sample data corresponding to the type.
