heal.abstract	This paper presents a testing methodology to check the conformity of implementations following the ITU-T.120 Multimedia Conferencing protocol (ITU-T Recommendation T.120: data protocols for multimedia conferencing, 1996). The study takes into account the stateless and complex nature of the T.120 protocols and provides a method of compatibility testing appropriate for complex protocol implementations. For this purpose a Reference Model for conformance testing of T.120 systems is defined. A testing tool called Reference Tester/Implementation System has been implemented according to the Reference Model specifications and a test strategy for ensuring compatibility testing is defined. To illustrate the effectiveness of the system, test coverage of testing architectures defined in ISO/IEC 9646-2 (Information technology-open systems interconnection-conformance testing methodology and framework-Part 2: Abstract Test Suite Specification, 1994) is shown and the relative conclusions are deducted.
