ONI Tester

Last summer the intial beta was coded in java by a gsoc student. We would like to extend the current beta into a more robust and functional app that we can deploy into the field.

Some examples of the tests we run currently that we would like to have in the new version of the tool are:

• Information on the client the test is being run from
  • IP
  • ISP
  • OS version
• Network routes to specific internet hosts
• Speed tests to specific internet hosts
• Filtering tests for specific blocked ports
• Filtering tests to specific internet hosts

We're looking to build the next-generation of a tool that would do the same, except be web-centric.

Some of the features we are looking to include in this tool:

• Easy for users to run in various countries
  • Possible multi-language integration
  • Autodetection of location and ability to run different test suites
• Easy to update
  • Both in the aspect of the code itself
  • but more importantly in the tests that are run - researchers should have the ability to add and modify tests

Are there more tests you think you would like to include? Ideas?
