Testing

The following pages will guide you through setting up the test environment, provisioning credentials, and verifying the nRF Door Lock and Access Control Application using the Aliro Test Harness and Matter-based tools.

To complete the testing process, you will need the following:

• The Nordic Semiconductor development kit (DK), which serves as the Reader in the door lock component. It must be attached to an NFC card reader expansion board and optionally to a UWB module.

• The Aliro Test Harness, which acts as the User Device and simulates unlocking the door lock. See the Hardware requirements page for more details.

• Matter controller tools and Matter over Thread tools for device commissioning and testing the provisioning of Aliro credentials from the Matter controller. When testing with the Apple smart home ecosystem, you must have an iPhone running iOS version 26 or later and an Apple Matter controller, such as a HomePod mini.
