The TWAIN Self-Certification system helps developers validate their Data Source’s support of the basic interface described by the TWAIN Specification. Passing the test confirms that the Data Source’s interface works as expected with applications, leading to a better user experience.
Basic TWAIN Self-Certification exercises aspects of the TWAIN interface that all Data Sources are required to support. Passing these tests confirms that a Data Source responds correctly to commands sent by an application, and that it does not crash or hang. The TWAIN interface is a programmatic contract between an application and a Data Source, this interface is described by the TWAIN Specification (PDF).
