A conformance test method for the HBS standard specification is reported. The extent of this research corresponds to layer 3 of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model. The devices to be tested are the home bus controller, network termination, and terminals. Test suites of respective devices are specified, together with 171 test cases relating to the layer 3 communication sequences and packet exchange. A test suite is specified for each test case, and a test scenario is automatically generated based on test data and test suite. A test system and test program were developed, and the effectiveness of this conformance test method was verified by conducting a simulation experiment.>
