The idea of group tests, or more formally known as a Plugfest, is one of several venues used by numerous technology consortiums. The venue is a means for providing vendors the opportunity to address potential ambiguities and to improve the testing scenarios and capabilities in a technology standard. In the WiMAX Forum, a Plugfest is a one week long event carried out at a WiMAX Forum contracted testing site to primarily validate and verify the interoperability of a vendor's equipment with other vendors' equipment. A vendor is considered to be interoperable once they have demonstrated that their hardware is able to send and receive packets data with two other vendors involving base stations and subscriber stations for a selected certification profile.
