Dovetail Project1/29/2016

• Plugfest: An industry event allowing companies and implementers an opportunity to test interoperability of products/projects being developed according to a common plan (i.e. a standard).• A plugfest event tends to be unique, where companies are at the same site

with similar resources / goals.• Testing scope and plans should take advantage of this opportunity, to provide

value to attendees beyond the testing they might undertake on their own outside of a plugfest.
