1. A method for testing conformance of a mobile wireless device to a test specification, the method comprising:
by the mobile wireless device:
loading, to an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of the mobile wireless device, a test profile that includes a test applet, where the test applet includes:
at least one proactive application protocol data unit (APDU) command or at least one call control response, and
an event list;
triggering the test applet to execute a sequence of events configured in the event list, at least one event in the sequence of events including communication of the at least one proactive APDU command or the at least one call control response from the eUICC to a processor of the mobile wireless device external to the eUICC;
aggregating a set of APDUs communicated between the processor of the mobile wireless device and the eUICC during execution of the sequence of events; and
providing the set of APDUs to a test apparatus external to the mobile wireless device for verification in accordance with the test specification.
