Testing an EBIF Application 101

Right now (as of September 2009)  the testing process for EBIF applications is confusing at best - so here's some insight on the current state of testing an EBIF application.  

While EBIF is a widely accepted standard for developing ITV applications, there is not a standard method for getting an application tested and deployed across millions of digital set-top boxes within the US cable MSOs (multiple system operators).  Application developers will need to discover the current certification method on an MSO by MSO basis prior to deployment.
