Test how servers respond to different ways of interacting with it such as:
- sending multiple messages at once (i.e. as a single syscall);
- reading replies or not;
- reading replies thoroughly or not;
- different read timeout;
- amount of delay between sent messages (if any);
- closing the socket right after sending the last message or after the server exits.
Build container image for desired target with make $target.
Start container (e.g. docker run --rm msgbounds:$target -h for help).
Start the container with environment variable DO_STRACE=1 to run the tester (and target) under
strace to trace some useful syscalls. The output is stored in /work/strace.log.
The scripts should also produce the coverage of the target into /work/cov.json (from gcovr).
