  10 The test process consists of several stages. The results of the first stage,
  11 planning, are descibed in this document. On the basis of this document actual
  12 test cases will be designed. Afterwards the actual tests will be implemented and
  13 executed. The results of these tests will then be evaluated against the exit
  14 criteria (see Section~\ref{sec:exitcriteria}) and depending on the outcome of
  15 these evaluations further tests might be deemed necessary.

  17 \subsection{Quality Characteristics}
  18 The quality characteristics that are to be tested are described using the
  19 ISO/IEC 25010 \cite{iso25010}. In the following sections we will discuss the
  20 relevant \textit{product quality} and \textit{quality in use} characteristics.

  22 \subsubsection{Product quality}
  23 Product quality is divided into eight main categories which are divided into several
  24 subcategories. Below we will discuss the qualities which are relevant to the SUT.
  25 \begin{itemize}
  26         \item \textbf{Functional suitability}\\
  27         As descibed in Section~\ref{sec:risks} the SUT is core functioanlity of the
  28         networking capable system. Because many other systems running on the
  29         system could rely on it it is very important that the SUT is functionaly
  30         suitable. Therefore all three subcharacteristics of Functional Suitability
  31         (\textit{Functional completeness, Functional correctness, Functional
  32         appropriateness}) are of vital importance. As was previously mentioned
  33         in Section~\ref{sec:risks} extra emphasis should be placed on testing
  34         \emph{Functional Correctness} as recovery from Failures in
  35         computer-to-computer systems is problematic.
