319) <h3>Testing criteria</h3>
320) 
321) <p>To check for basic acceptability, the contest will be judged
322) with several major tests. For example, the system designer should expect:</p>
323) 
324) <ul>
325) <li>A minimal test: does it work?</li>
326) <li>Several parameters, both obscure and obvious, will be configured. Is
327) it possible and easy to do so?</li>
328) <li>A network will be connected once the system is running. Can the
329) user tell that the network is now live?</li>
330) <li>The network will be disconnected or interrupted. Can the user tell
331) that the network has an error?</li>
332) </ul>
