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

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

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