The USGv6 Testing Program aims to provide a simple means for users of the profile to verify that a given product implements the set of USGv6 capabilities that they have selected, and to verify that each such capability meets the detailed technical requirements expressed through the profile. The structure of the test program seeks to establish a unified approach to conformance, interoperability and functional
