Testing Network Object

Tests specific to this object. Should be done in addition to general field tests. The type of field is listed in parentheses.

TESTS PER FIELD

• Network Name (DNS)
  • Check for uniqueness across nodes also
• Group (select box)
• Comment (string)
• DHCP Service (dropdown)
• DHCP Options (string)
  • What happens if use same option with diff value?
  • enter invalid option
  • enter invalid value (this is not checked)
  • enter option that does not apply to network
  • max # of options allowed?
• Address Space (address)
• Low Reserve (integer)
  • If lo reserve is > # of addresses in AS, should get error
  • if lo + hi ># of addresses in AS, then ok
• Hi Reserve (integer)
  • If hi reserve is > # of addresses in AS, should get error
  • if lo + hi ># of addresses in AS, then ok
• Split/Join network prefix (integer)
  • what if non-numeric?
  • what if negative?
  • what if zero?
  • What if splitting and new network prefix is greater than old
  • what if joining and new netwrk prefix is less than old
  • what if old and new prefix equal on split/join
• Address Space Group (select box)
• Address Space DHCP Options (dropdown)
• Address Space Comments (string)
• DHCP Addresses (address)
• DHCP Address Names (DNS names)
• Count (integer)

SPLITTING NETWORKS

• Try by changing prefix only
• Try by changing prefix and adding additional address space
• Try with broadcast address occupied
• Try with low/hi reserves overlapping
• Try with lo/hi reserves adjacent- is reserve the start point or is the next address the start?
• Try with new network address used
• change reserves when reserved addresses are already assigned
• what happens to dynamic dhcp?
• What happens to IPC if split network through its range?
• what happens to comments?
• what happens to user's default AS?
• What happens to IPC if split network through its range?
• If nodes in new reserved spaces, warning but no error.
• what happens to reserves?
• what happens to template default AS?
• Does splitting work during network create ?
• Max difference allowed between old and new prefix is 4
• Can split a network that has existing nodes?

JOINING NETWORKS

• What happens to dynamic DHCP addresses?
• What happens to comment?
• What happens to user's default AS?
• what happens to reserves?
• Does join work during network create?
• What if not all necessary AS are on same net?
• Max difference allowed between old and new prefix is 4
• can join networks with existing nodes?

EXPANDING NETWORKS

• Expanding networks- what happens to dynamic dhcp addr?
• Max difference allowed between old and new prefix is 4
• what happens to existing nodes?

DELETING ADDRESS SPACES

• Delete network with existing IP addresses- what happens?
• Delete address space with existing IP addresses- what happens?

MOVING ADDRESS SPACES

• Moving address spaces - do comments move?
• Do dynamic dhcp addresses move?
• Do reserves move?
• what happens to existing nodes?

OTHER TESTS

• if user has rights to network but not to AS, can add node to AS?
