As part of the Open Lighting Project a suite of tests for RDM responders has been developed. This enables manufacturers to check how well a RDM device conforms to the E1.20 specification. The tests cases are written in Python, and use the Open Lighting Architecture to communicate with devices.

Test Categories
Tests are grouped according to the sections in the RDM Categories/Parameter ID Defines table in the E1.20 document. There are some extra categories for specific behavior like error conditions and sub device handling.
Test Coverage
As of 27th March 2011 the following PIDs in E1.20 aren't tested:
- DISC_UNIQUE_BRANCH
- DISC_MUTE
- DISC_UN_MUTE
- STATUS_MESSAGES
- STATUS_ID_DESCRIPTION
- CLEAR_STATUS_ID
- SUB_DEVICE_STATUS_REPORT_THRESHOLD
- RESET_DEVICE
Test States
There are four possible result states for a test:
- Passed
- The responder replied with the expected result
- Failed
- The responder failed to reply, or replied with an un-expected result
- Not Run
- This test wasn't run because the responder doesn't support the required functionality or a previous test failed.
- Broken
- An internal error occurred, this indicates a programming error or an error with the test rig.
Log Messages
- Warnings
- Warnings indicate behavior that doesn't match the standard, but is unlikely to cause usability issues. Warnings are printed in the summary section of the test output.
- Advisory Messages
- Advisory messages indicate issues that are not covered by the standard but are likely to cause problems i.e a sensor temperature out side of the stated scale range.
