The OpenADR 3.x Test Tool currently features two certification profiles:

- VTN: Full VTN testing
- VEN CP Profile: The Continuous Pricing (CP) profile VEN is expected to poll for events, and on receipt of any that include a report request, write a report. The VEN is required to be be able to read prices, GHG emission numbers, and emergency messages. This profile is for VENs that only receive price and related information.
- VEN BL Profile: The BaseLine (BL) profile evaluates a VENs general capabilities. It is used to verify a VENs functional compatibility, e.g. its 'protocol-level' functionality and ability to communicate with a VTN. This profile is for general flexibility systems.

A version of the same test tool will be used for online certification testing. To certify a VTN or a VEN, the user needs to purchase a certification license which includes time with a certification manager for an online review of the product. The certification license can be obtained on the Certification Process page or at this form (coming soon).

Pricing: The 3.x test tool price for OpenADR Alliance members is $2,250 for either VTN or VEN testing or $3,500 for VTN+VEN testing. The price includes up to 3 hours of testing support.
