Amazon Sidewalk test specification

This document provides the Amazon Sidewalk reference test cases for certification of compliance with the Amazon Sidewalk specification.

The document includes test cases for endpoint products, referred to as Design Under Test (DUT). At this time, gateway certification is not required, as all gateways on the Amazon Sidewalk network are Amazon devices, such as Echo and Ring products.
