Ginga is the official specification and standardized middleware for the Brazilian Digital TV System. The complexity demanded by the construction of this layer of software is high, which also increases the complexity of testing. The importance of software testing and its relationship with quality should be emphasized, since this type of system still has a high degree of complexity inherent to its development, mainly due to its specification is recent, and by proposing innovative features. Besides being considered a critical software, since failures in the implementation of middleware can compromise the success of Digital TV as a whole. The middleware is a key player within a Digital TV system since it is he who dictates the rules so that applications can be run on the platform. Thus, the correctness of middleware is of vital importance to enable interactive applications to run successfully. The project CDN Ginga (Ginga Code Development Network) is responsible for developing collaborative and distributed a reference version for PC Ginga. This implementation is based on software components and open to universities and companies. In this context, this paper proposes a process for verification and validation of middleware Ginga, to be deployed in parallel to the process of project development Ginga CDN, facing the common core components (Ginga-CC). For this purpose, we defined a set of tests, which aim to check the operation of middleware, as well as validate the different configurations of components, from middleware Ginga CDN generated by the network.
