1 \subsection{Preflight checklist}
2 Before actual certification is commenced we perform a manual test using a
3 checklist.
4 If any of the checks fail we immediately reject the product.
5 The checklist is given in the table below. All commands in \texttt{monospace}
6 are to be run in a terminal. Commands prefixed with a \texttt{\#} should be run
7 with root permissions. Commands prefixed with a \texttt{\$} should be run with
8 user permissions.

74 \subsection{Testing of SUT}
75 The SUT is a series of services for other computer programs with no end-user
76 facing interface. Therefore the SUT will be tested solely by calling it's
77 services through various automated scripts. An automated test suite will be
78 available which executes all these automated scripts and aggregates their
79 results to asses whether or not the SUT has passed the test.
80
81 The implementation of the SUT is tested using black box testing techniques. A
82 series of tests asses the correctness of the implementation with regards to the
83 TCP specification. These tests are specified in Table~\textbf{referentie naar
84 tests-tabel}. The test cases aim to cover the most interesting parts of the TCP
85 specification.
86
87 To cover the TCP specification as complete as possible while still maintaining
88 a feasible test suite the tests are divided into equivalence partitions. Below
89 these partitions are given.
90
91 \begin{enumerate}
92 \item \emph{Number of packets} in request~\footnote{A request is considered
93 establishing a connection (handshake) and a number of payload packets}
94 \begin{enumerate}
95 \item 0 payload packets
96 \item 1 payload packet
97 \item n=small payload packets
98 \item n=big payload packets
99 \end{enumerate}
100 \item \emph{source port}
101 \begin{enumerate}
102 \item Correct
103 \item Incorrect
104 \end{enumerate}
105 \item \emph{destination port}
106 \begin{enumerate}
107 \item Correct
108 \item Incorrect
109 \end{enumerate}
110 \item Bits flipped in \emph{payload}
111 \begin{enumerate}
112 \item Correct payload
113 \item Payload with bit flips
114 \item Payload with odd number of bits flipped
115 \end{enumerate}
116 \item \emph{checksum}
117 \begin{enumerate}
118 \item Correct
119 \item Incorrect
120 \end{enumerate}
121 \item Packet order
122 \begin{enumerate}
123 \item Correct
124 \item Out of order
125 \item Missing packets
126 \end{enumerate}
127 \end{enumerate}
128
129 These partitions were chosen since they correspond to key parts of the TCP
130 specification.
131
132 TCP segments are send over a TCP connection from a \emph{source} to a \emph{destination port}. Therefore segments which are received which have a
133 source or destination port set to an incorrect value should not be regarded
134 as segments belonging to the connection.
135
136 TCP uses a \emph{checksum} to catch any error introduced in headers, when this
137 checksum does not match the actual computed checksum the packet should be
138 disregarded.
139
140 The TCP checksum is also an inherently weak one, as it is simply the
141 bitwise negation of the addition in ones complement arithmetic
142 of all 16 bit words in the header and data of the segment (excluding the
143 header). Therefore any bit error where the ones complement value of one word
144 increases by one, and the value of another decreases by one, is undetected.
145 The SUT should exhibit the same behavior and accept packets where these type
146 of bit error occur.
147
148 \textbf{hier iets over waarom deze partities relevant zijn! Waarom odd en
149 even number of bits flipped bijv interessant?}
150 \bigskip
151
152 Partitions 2 to 6 are tested using pairwise testing to keep the number of test
153 cases feasible. The pairs are then all *except some where it does not make sense
154 to do so) tested with the different request sizes of partition 1.
155
156 This is expressed in Table~\ref{table:testpairs}.

182 \subsection{Quality, completeness and coverage of tests}
183
184 The network packets used in testing are constructed from prerecorded, known to
185 be correct, network traffic. These packets are then modified with well used and
186 field tested tools. Due to this the chance of errors in the test cases is quite
187 low. However, no formal proof of correctness of the test cases is present, this
188 means that any defects found might not be the result of a fault in the SUT.
189 Therefore detected defects should only indicate there is a high chance that
190 there is a fault in the SUT and can not result directly in the conclusion that
191 there actually is one.
192
193 \bigskip
194
195 Due to the nature of black-box testing coverage of the code in the
196 implementation of the SUT is unknown. However completeness of the tests over
197 the specification of the SUT can be assessed.
198
199 \bigskip
200
201 Due to the clear and exhaustive specification of TCP the completeness of the
202 test suite can be clearly assessed.
203
204 As always, $100\%$ completeness is not feasible, therefore test cases are
205 carefully selected to cover the most interesting parts of the TCP specification
206 to ensure a test suite.
207
208 To further decrease the number of tests needed test cases are divided into
209 equivalence partitions and the combination of cases as described in
210 Table~\ref{table:testpairs} ensures that all partitions are
211 covered and the number of individual tests is still feasible.
