<aside> ⚠️
You can find a general introduction to iLEAP here.
</aside>
Real World Testing refers to the execution of tests using "real world" data. It is a continuation of iLEAP’s Pilot Testing phase, to validate iLEAP’s adequacy to the users needs.
Testing requires communication between 2+ business partners running independent iLEAP-conforming software. We strive to cover real-life end-to-end shipment cases.
Schematic representation of the transactions (Chapter 4 of the Tech Specs). The red arrows represent the most common use case. However, under the right governance, Transactions 2 and 3 might also occurr between a Transport Service Provider and a Transport Service User.

There are two modes of participation in Real World Testing: either “buying” (user) or building (implementer).
“Buying” means that you’re not implementing the iLEAP Tech Specs, but rather using **an existing software (from a tool provider). - In this case, you are engaging as a user.
Building means that you are implementing the iLEAP Tech Specs in software, either for internal use or for offering services to others (i.e., “buyers”) as a tool provider. - In this case, you are engaging as an implementer.
The diagram below helps you navigate the rest of this documentation, based on your participation mode. (Boxes are clickable! Try it out!)
