management tool that allows the development of test scenarios and assignment of test cases, such as the tool proposed in [7], could be helpful in performing testing operations. The importance of frameworks for test execution to improve the quality of software testing was underlined in [8]. Frameworks allow repeatable tests and make automated testing easier. Frameworks can also provide a standard way of performing the main parts of the testing process: setting the initial state, invoking the functionality being tested, checking the results of the test, and performing any necessary cleanup. Many testing techniques focus on testing functional correctness (debug testing), but performance issues are also very important in software testing, especially in cases such as web services, real-time hardware systems, and industrial systems and processes [8]. Researchers [9] have discussed various issues related to the fundamentals of software testing and shown that software testing is much more than error detection or debugging. It has been demonstrated [10] that after the release of software products, the main problems are related to performance degradation or providing the required throughput, and system crashes and incorrect system responses are usually secondary issues, as the software is extensively tested before release from the functional point of view. Performance testing involves issues such as resource usage, throughput, stimulus response time, queue length, bandwidth requirements, CPU (central processing unit) cycles, and database access. Issues such as scalability and the ability to handle heavy workloads should also be considered. Testing communication protocols and software components used by communication equipment raise several critical issues, such as real-time processing constraints, timing and synchronization between intercommunicating modules and processes, strong interactions between software and hardware components, the hardware platforms' need for testing complex protocols and signal processing, remote access to the platform on which the tested software is running, and the need to process a large amount of data generated in tests, to mention just a few. The testing of communication protocols used in specific applications requires specific test suites due to the complexity and requirements imposed on these protocols. This is represented by the testing of communication protocols used in wireless communications, which is one of the most challenging testing operations. The conclusions researchers drew when testing transmission protocols used by mobile military networks under real-life conditions are presented in [11]. The main problems encountered during test operations were the timing constraints, test controllability, inconsistency detection, and conflicting timers. The real-life testing of communication protocols in wireless communication scenarios with general and transmission techniques, in particular, requires the use of dedicated hardware platforms adapted to the specific test scenarios. Researchers [12] have presented a hardware platform that included DSPs (digital signal processors), FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays), and SDR (software-defined radio) interfaces for the prototyping and testing of complex radio transceivers, such as OFDM (orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) transceivers. Other researchers [13] have proposed a mobile platform based on universal software radio peripheral (USRP) SDR devices for testing algorithms for radio transmitters and receivers, while other still have presented signal processing algorithms and design and testing methodologies related to the implementation of radio transceivers using the concept of SDR [14]. Developing communication protocols for radio transmission systems is not a trivial task. SDR technology and open-source development libraries such as GNU radio [15] come with several tools that ease the development of PHY (physical)- and MAC (medium access control)-layer protocols for wireless transmission systems.
