ISO/IEC 29109-7:2011 specifies elements of conformance testing methodology, test assertions, and test procedures as applicable to ISO/IEC 19794-7. ISO/IEC 19794-7 defines two data interchange formats for signature/sign time series data, one for general use and one compact format for use with smart cards and other tokens.

ISO/IEC 29109-7:2011 establishes

• test assertions of the structure of both signature/sign time series data formats as specified in ISO/IEC 19794-7 (Type A Level 1 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1),
• test assertions of internal consistency by checking the types of values that may be contained within each field (Type A Level 2 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1), and
• test assertions on the contents of data records in the signature/sign time series data formats as specified in ISO/IEC 19794-7 (Type A Level 3 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1).
• ISO/IEC 29109-7:2011 does not establish
• tests of other characteristics of biometric products or other types of testing of biometric products (e.g. acceptance, performance, robustness, security), and
• tests of conformance of systems that do not produce ISO/IEC 19794-7 records.
• ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119Software and systems engineering — Software testing is a series of five international standards for software testing. First developed in 2007 and released in 2013, the standard “defines vocabulary, processes, documentation, techniques, and a process assessment model for testing that can be used within any software development lifecycle.”
• History and revisions
• Development of the set of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 software testing standards began in May 2007, based on existing standards such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’s IEEE 829 (test documentation), and IEEE 1008 (unit testing); and the BSI Group’s BS 7925-1 (vocabulary) and -2 (software components).
• At first the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) had no working group with significant software testing experience, so the ISO created WG26, which by 2011 was represented by more than 20 different countries. Initially four sections were developed for the standard: Concepts and definitions (1), Test processes (2), Test documentation (3), and Test techniques (4). A fifth part concerning process assessment was considered for addition, ultimately becoming ISO/IEC 33063:2015, which ties to 29119-2’s test processes. The actual fifth part of 29119 was published in November 2016 concerning the concept of keyword-driven testing.
• As of June 2018, no major revisions have occurred to the five parts of the standard. These parts are, from most recent to oldest:
• ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-5:2016, Part 5: Keyword-driven testing, published in November 2016
• ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-4:2015, Part 4: Test techniques, published in December 2015
• ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3:2013, Part 3: Test documentation, published in September 2013
• ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2:2013, Part 2: Test processes, published in September 2013
• ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-1:2013, Part 1: Concepts and definitions, published in September 2013
