Feature #4279: Self-learning strategy
Unit tests for Self-learning Forwarding Strategy
0%
Description
Write two test cases for Broadcast-based Self-learning Forwarding Strategy.
Test Case 1 (Wired network scenario):
Set up point to point link with three nodes, node A broadcast packet to node B and C.
Node B and C returns data packet, Node A creates the corresponding forwarding table.
Node A unicast to Node B based on self-learned forwarding path .
Check that only Node B received the packet.
Test case 2 (Wireless network scenario):
Set up multicast link with three nodes, node A broadcast packet to node B and C using multicast face.
Node B and C returns data packet, Node A creates the corresponding forwarding table.
Node A uses unicast face to send packet to Node B based on self-learned forwarding path .
Check that A successfully set up unicast face.
Check that only node B received the packet.

Are these unit tests or integration tests?
Updated by Junxiao Shi over 6 years ago
- Category changed from Integration Tests to Forwarding
The title has made clear that these are unit tests. They can be easily implemented with TopologyTester facility.
“Tests” category is solely for integ, so this belongs to “Forwarding” category.

Then why do we need a separate task? Unit tests belong in the same task/patch that introduces the feature they're supposed to test.

Not necessarily. A test may be developed before the feature and marked as “expected failure”, and the implementation commit can remove the expected failure annotation. Such practice exists in ndn-cxx but not yet in NFD.
A substantial test case like this may be assigned to a different developer, necessitating a separate task.
