This standard defines requirements for test methods for measuring conformance to IEEE Std 1224.1-1993 {5}. IEEE Std 1224.1-1993 {5} is stated in terms that are independent of any particular programming language, but each implementation that conforms to it implements a particular programming language binding, and conforms to its programming language binding specification. Each set of test methods for measuring conformance to IEEE Std 1224.1-1993 {5} assumes a particular programming language binding specification. Each programming language binding specification may impose further programming language specific requirements on the test methods which, in conjunction with the requirements imposed by this standard, constitute the requirements that shall be satisfied by test methods used for measuring conformance to that programming language binding specification. This standard applies to all sets of test methods for measuring conformance to any programming language binding specification for IEEE Std 1224.1-1993 {5}.
