 +==== Sample test cases ====
 +
 +=== Windows PE boot ===
 +
 +== Test ==
 +
 +Boot into a Windows PE operating system generated according to [[:​winpe|these instructions]] via TFTP.
 +
 +== DUT configuration ==
 +
 +No physical disks present. ​ System configured to boot from NIC equipped with gPXE ROM.
 +
 +== Environment configuration ==
 +
 +TFTP server hosting WinPE files. ​ DHCP server providing network configuration and path to WinPE'​s ''​\Boot\pxeboot.n12''​ file.
 +
 +== Result ==
 +
 +Success is defined as reaching WinPE'​s ''​X:​\Windows\system32''​ command prompt.
 +
 +=== iSCSI forward authentication ===
 +
 +== Test ==
 +
 +Boot into a Windows Server 2003 operating system stored on an iSCSI target that requires forward CHAP authentication.
 +
 +== DUT configuration ==
 +
 +No physical disks present. ​ System configured to boot from NIC equipped with gPXE ROM.  NIC non-volatile storage configured with iSCSI username and password.
 +
 +== Environment configuration ==
 +
 +iSCSI target running IETD set up to require forward CHAP authentication. ​ DHCP server providing network configuration and iSCSI root-path, but not providing iSCSI username and password (which are held in the DUT's non-volatile storage).
 +
 +== Result ==
 +
 +Success is defined as reaching the Windows graphical login screen.
 +
 +=== Linux bzImage boot ===
 +
 +== Test ==
 +
 +Boot into a minimal Linux/​busybox system created using [[http://​git.etherboot.org/?​p=people/​mcb30/​mkbootfs.git;​a=summary|mkbootfs]] via HTTP.
 +
 +== DUT configuration ==
 +
 +No physical disks present. ​ System configured to boot from NIC equipped with gPXE ROM.
 +
 +== Environment configuration ==
 +
 +Apache HTTP server providing gPXE script, kernel, initrd, and modules as separate files. ​ gPXE script set to instruct client to download kernel, initrd and relevant modules. ​ DHCP server providing network configuration and path to gPXE script on HTTP server.
 +
 +== Result ==
 +
 +Success is defined as reaching the busybox shell prompt.
