Features: This book uses numerous real-world cases to illustrate the significance of testing, provides a detailed discussion of testing theory, and analyzes network systems to identify the parts that should be tested, i.e., discovering "test content," and gives rules for selecting test content. It presents testing methods and demonstrates the testing process through real and typical test cases, and explains how to analyze and interpret test results. The book is divided into three parts: Network Testing Fundamentals, Network System Layer Testing, and Network Device Layer Testing. The fundamentals section provides a detailed introduction to important concepts in the field of network testing, the test content that should be performed, and proven effective testing methods, using numerous real-world test cases to illustrate the significance of testing and help readers recognize its value. Network System Layer Testing primarily focuses on testing subnets and global networks, using the testing methods and processes described in the section to conduct and explain important testing tasks at the network system layer. The third part, Network Device Layer Testing, verifies testing methods and concepts. Although the three parts have different focuses, they are closely interconnected as a whole. Selecting test content is the step in conducting testing; testing methods are a necessary condition for ensuring correct test results; and test result analysis is a crucial part of the testing process. This book is suitable for network testing professionals and network support personnel.
