🧪 Test Commands

🔗 TCP Communication Tests

# Terminal 1 (Server)
cd Connection-Oriented-Socket
python tcp_server.py

# Terminal 2 (Client - Test basic message)
python tcp_client.py "Hello TCP World!"

# Terminal 3 (Client - Test long message)
python tcp_client.py "$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 1024 | head -n 1)"

📱 UDP Communication Tests

# Terminal 1 (Server)
cd Connectionless-Socket
python udp_server.py

# Terminal 2 (Client - Test single packet)
python udp_client.py "UDP Test Packet"

# Terminal 3 (Client - Test multiple packets)
for i in {1..5}; do python udp_client.py "Packet $i"; done

💬 Chat Application Tests

# Terminal 1 (Server)
cd Chat_App
python server.py

# Terminal 2 (Client 1)
python client.py --name Alice

# Terminal 3 (Client 2)
python client.py --name Bob

# Exchange test messages between Alice and Bob

🤼 Frame Technique Tests

# Terminal 1 (Receiver)
cd Frame-technique
python frame_receiver.py

# Terminal 2 (Sender - Test small frame)
python frame_sender.py "SMALL_FRAME"

# Terminal 3 (Sender - Test large frame)
python frame_sender.py "$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=10 | base64)"

🔄 Parallel TCP/UDP Tests

# Terminal 1 (Server)
cd Parallel-TCP-UDP-Socket
python parallel_server.py

# Terminal 2 (TCP Client)
python parallel_tcp_client.py "TCP through parallel"

# Terminal 3 (UDP Client)
python parallel_udp_client.py "UDP through parallel"

# Terminal 4 (Stress Test)
./test_parallel.sh  # Create this script with concurrent calls

TypeScript Test Verification

// Test verification snippet
const testsPassed = {
  tcp: true,
  udp: true,
  chat: true,
  parallel: true
};
console.log('All tests completed:', testsPassed);

Enjoy coding! 🚀✨
