-certification has conducted unit, module and integration testing. We will only
-be conducting black-box testing and the client is not required to handover any
-source-code. Initially we will conduct several basic test cases based on
-experience acquired from previous certification requests (error guessing). If
-the product fails these basic tests we reject it and seize all further
-activities. If the product is not rejected we will proceed with more thorough
-testing. For each test we produce a test report. If any of the test cases fail
-the product is still rejected but in order to deliver usable feedback to the

-analysis will be included.
