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

\subsection{Testing of SUT}
The SUT is a series of services for other computer programs with no end-user
facing interface. Therefore the SUT will be tested solely by calling it's
services through various automated scripts. An automated test suite will be
available which executes all these automated scripts and aggregates their
results to asses whether or not the SUT has passed the test. 

The implementation of the SUT is tested using black box testing techniques. A
series of tests asses the correctness of the implementation with regards to the
TCP specification. These tests are specified in Table~\textbf{referentie naar
tests-tabel}. The test cases aim to cover the most interesting parts of the TCP
specification. 

To cover the TCP specification as complete as possible while still maintaining
a feasible test suite the tests are divided into equivalence partitions. Below
these partitions are given.

\begin{enumerate}
        \item \emph{Number of segments} in request~\footnote{A request is
                considered establishing a connection (handshake) and a number of
                payload segments}
                \begin{enumerate}
                        \item 0 payload segments
                        \item 1 payload segments
                        \item n=small payload segments (1 byte)
                        \item n=big payload segments (65495 bytes)
                \end{enumerate}
        \item \emph{source port}
                \begin{enumerate}
                        \item Correct
                        \item Incorrect
                \end{enumerate}
        \item \emph{destination port}
                \begin{enumerate}
                        \item Correct
                        \item Incorrect
                \end{enumerate}
        \item Bit errors in \emph{payload}
                \begin{enumerate}
                        \item Correct payload
                        \item Payload with bit flips that do not show in checksum
                        \item Payload with bit flips that do show in checksum
                \end{enumerate}
        \item \emph{checksum}
                \begin{enumerate}
                        \item Correct
                        \item Incorrect
                \end{enumerate}
        \item \emph{Segment order}
                \begin{enumerate}
                        \item Correct
                        \item Out of order
                        \item Missing Segments
                \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

These partitions were chosen since they correspond to key parts of the TCP
specification. A single request consists of a number of packets that sent a
to the \emph{echo-server} and back. The TCP specification state that such a
transaction requires the following messages.

\begin{center}
        Script $-$ SYN $A$ $\rightarrow$ SUT \\
        Script $\leftarrow$ SYN-ACK $(A+1)$ $B$ $-$ SUT \\
        Script $-$ ACK $(A+1)$ $(B+1)$ $\rightarrow$ SUT \\
        Script $-$ ACK-PUSH $(A+1)$ $(B+2)$ \emph{msg} $\rightarrow$ SUT \\
        Script $\leftarrow$ ACK $(A+2+msg_{length})$ $(B+3)$ $-$ SUT \\
        Script $\leftarrow$ ACK-PUSH $(A+2+msg_{length})$ $(B+3)$ \emph{msg} $-$ SUT
\end{center}

%
% één na laatste packket, moet dit B+3 of B+2 zijn?
%

TCP segments are send over a TCP connection from a \emph{source} to a \emph{destination port}. Therefore segments which are received that have a 
source or destination port set to an incorrect value should not be regarded
as segments belonging to the connection by the SUT. 

TCP uses a \emph{checksum} to catch any error introduced in headers, when this
checksum does not match the actual computed checksum the SUT should
disregard the received segment.

The TCP checksum is also an inherently weak one, as it is simply the 
bitwise negation of the addition, in ones complement arithmetic, 
of all 16 bit words in the header and data of the segment (excluding the
checksum itself). Therefore any \emph{bit error} where the ones complement value
of one word
increases by one, and the value of another decreases by one, is undetected. 
The SUT should exhibit the same behavior and accept packets where these type
of bit errors occur.

TCP guarantees that segments are delivered \emph{in order}
,even when they are received
out of order and that missing segments are resend. The SUT should
exhibit the same behavior. If segments are received out of order it should
either reassemble them when the missing packet has arrived or request them to
be resend when the  Missing segments should be re-requested (by ACK-ing
the correct sequence number).  

\bigskip

Partitions 2 to 6 are tested using pairwise testing to keep the number of test
cases feasible. The pairs are then all *except some where it does not make sense
to do so) tested with the different request sizes of partition 1.

This is expressed in Table~\ref{table:testpairs}. In this table the first five
columns represent the different options for the partitions 2 to 6 of the above
enumeration. The last four columns are the different number segments as
described in the partition 1 of the above enumeration. These cells identify
individual test cases by a number. An \xmark in the cell indicates that this
test case can not be created as it is not possible with that number of segments
(eg. sending segments out of order when the number of segments is 1).

\subsection{Quality, completeness and coverage of tests}

The network packets used in testing are constructed from prerecorded, known to
be correct, network traffic. These packets are then modified with well used and 
field tested tools. Due to this the chance of errors in the test cases is quite
low. However, no formal proof of correctness of the test cases is present, this
means that any defects found might not be the result of a fault in the SUT.
Therefore detected defects should only indicate there is a high chance that 
there is a fault in the SUT and can not result directly in the conclusion that
there actually is one. 

\bigskip

Due to the nature of black-box testing coverage of the code in the 
implementation of the SUT is unknown. However completeness of the tests over 
the specification of the SUT can be assessed. 

\bigskip

Due to the clear and exhaustive specification of TCP the completeness of the 
test suite can be clearly assessed. 

As always, $100\%$ completeness is not feasible, therefore test cases are
carefully selected to cover the most interesting parts of the TCP specification
to ensure a complete but feasible test suite.

To further increase the coverage of the test suites tests are randomized. The
tests which test the handling of \emph{bit errors}, changes in the \emph{packet
order} and \emph{dropped packets} randomize where they introduce an error. The
test suite runs these tests multiple times to increase the likelihood that they
discover a fault which is only present when an error occurs in a certain
position. 

To further decrease the number of tests needed test cases are divided into
equivalence partitions and the combination of cases as described in 
Table~\ref{table:testpairs} ensures that all partitions are
covered and the number of individual tests is still feasible.
