OCPP 2.0.1 Testing

Validate modern OCPP 2.0.1 workflows for smart charging, security, device management, and richer transaction handling before rolling them into production fleets.

What is OCPP 2.0.1 testing?

OCPP 2.0.1 testing covers the newer version of the protocol used for advanced charger and CPMS capabilities. Teams validate TransactionEvent handling, charging profiles, and device model behavior. They also check security-profile requirements and the broader message set introduced in OCPP 2.0.1.

Supported modules and flows

TransactionEvent-based session handling instead of separate start and stop messages.
Charging profile, smart charging, and advanced scheduling workflows.
Device model and variable-oriented management flows introduced in OCPP 2.0.1.
Security-profile, certificate, and higher-assurance authentication behavior.

Best for

Teams onboarding newer charger models with stronger security and smart charging requirements.
Platforms preparing for ISO 15118-adjacent and advanced energy-management workflows.
Mixed-fleet backends that need to support both OCPP 1.6 and OCPP 2.0.1 cleanly.

Example OCPP 2.0.1 transaction flow

OCPP 2.0.1 replaces the older start and stop model with TransactionEvent messages. That gives teams a richer, event-driven sequence to validate across the full session lifecycle.

Charge point -> CPMS: BootNotificationRequest
CPMS -> Charge point: BootNotificationResponse

Charge point -> CPMS: AuthorizeRequest
CPMS -> Charge point: AuthorizeResponse

Charge point -> CPMS: TransactionEventRequest (eventType=Started)
CPMS -> Charge point: TransactionEventResponse

Charge point -> CPMS: TransactionEventRequest (eventType=Updated)
CPMS -> Charge point: TransactionEventResponse

Charge point -> CPMS: TransactionEventRequest (eventType=Ended)
CPMS -> Charge point: TransactionEventResponse

Supported modern charger workflows

OCPP 2.0.1 testing is most useful when teams need stronger security, smarter charging control, and richer event-driven backend validation across newer charger profiles.

Profile	Coverage	Typical validation
Smart charging profiles	ChargingProfiles, scheduling, and power-management coverage	Validate schedule handling, composite logic, and backend decisioning.
Security-oriented deployments	Profile 1, 2, and 3 validation paths	TLS, certificates, authentication, and higher-assurance charger onboarding.
Mixed modern DC and AC fleets	TransactionEvent and device-model workflows	Exercise started, updated, ended events and variable-oriented management behavior.

What to test

TransactionEvent lifecycle coverage for started, updated, and ended events.
Smart charging and charging profile validation.
Device management, variables, and capability-related message flows.
Security-profile and authentication-related workflows.

Common scenarios

Smart charging rollout

Validate charging profile logic, scheduling behavior, and backend decisioning before enabling advanced energy management in production.

Mixed-version backend support

Test OCPP 2.0.1 alongside legacy OCPP 1.6 fleets so your CPMS handles both versions cleanly.

Protocol migration

Exercise 2.0.1 message handling before onboarding new charger models or expanding into higher-security deployments.
