Held twice each year, the ODP brings together engineers and developers from ONVIF member companies to test their products’ implementation of ONVIF Profile Specifications with other ONVIF Profile-conformant products to ensure interoperability between conformant products. In all, the Malmö event drew 62 attendees from 26 member companies and 16 different countries. In the three-day timespan, attendees logged nearly 450 hours of total testing time, surpassing the previous record of 300 hours.

“The ONVIF Developers Plugfest is not just a testing opportunity for members to establish ONVIF conformant products before they are released into the market, but also an opportunity for member representatives to work directly with Test Tool developers,” said Steven Dillingham, Chairman of the ONVIF Technical Services Committee Taskforce, Developers’ Plugfest. “The Plugfest represents the final phase of product development after months of hard work, and we are fortunate to have so many member companies excited to participate, and willing to give feedback to further refine the conformance process.”

In addition to testing the six Profiles, attendees were also offered one hour of testing using the ONVIF Device/Client Test Tools, also with the opportunity to discuss any issues that arose during conformance testing with Test Tool developers.
