# Test Case Guidelines for `rnp`

The document aims to describe and capture various use cases for `rnp` in
the form of the test cases. These can be used as acceptance tests for
the maintenance of the project.


## Naming conventions

The test case name is composed of the three parts.

* First being the module under test,
* Second being the feature and third details the motivation of the test.

Naming structure looks like: `<module>_<component>_<test-motivation>`.

For example, when testing the `generatekey` feature of `rnpkeys`, the
test case name would be `rnpkeys.generatekey.<test-motivation>`.
