1. Overview

This document is concerned with the testing and validation of ns-3 software.

This document provides

• background about terminology and software testing (Chapter 2);
• a description of the ns-3 testing framework (Chapter 3);
• a guide to model developers or new model contributors for how to write tests (Chapter 4);
• validation and verification results reported to date (Chapters 5-onward).

In brief, the first three chapters should be read by ns developers and contributors who need to understand how to contribute test code and validated programs, and the remainder of the document provides space for people to report on what aspects of selected models have been validated.
