+Tests to do
+===========
 
+::
+
+  Radio Controller      )))     xbee      ((( WING
+     /
+    /
+   PC with command line
+   (through serial)
+
+Test 1: send data, unidirectional
+---------------------------------
+
+Periodically send data from RC to WING (every 20 to 100 ms). The WING sends its
+statistics every second.
+
+Variables:
+
+- period: from 20ms to 200ms
+- packet size: from 1 byte to 20 bytes
+- total number of packets: 1K for short tests, 100K for robustness
+
+If the test is long, take care about maximum duty cycles (10%).
+
+Output:
+
+- local and peer statistics for each test (packet size, pps, number of packets)
+- at the end we will know what is the highest speed we can support for a given
+  packet size, and how reliable is the xbee
+
+Test 2: send data, bidirectional
+--------------------------------
+
+Same than above, except that the WING replies to each received packet with a
+packet of same size.
+
+Same kind of output.
+
+Test 3: test wing control on ground
+-----------------------------------
+
+On the ground, try to control the wing with the RC board. We also use the 2.4
+Ghz controller as a fallback (bypass mode).
+
+Check that the bypass mode is enabled when we ask it (for instance on the
+channnel 5 switch) or when we switch off the RC board.
+
+Test 4: embed in WING and send dummy servo commands
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Test in real conditions: the WING board is embeded during a flight. The RC board
+sends dummy servo values at a specified rate (choosen from results of test 1 and
+2). The WING sends statistics and "power probes" allowing the RC board to choose
+its tx power level.
+
+Check how the wing distance impacts:
+- the tx power level of the RC board
+- the statistics
+- the RX DB
+
+Maybe check with and without the 433Mhz beacon.
+
+Output:
+
+After this test, we should be confident that xbee is useable in real conditions.
+
+Test 5: control the wing with the RC board
+------------------------------------------
+
+Same than test 3, but in real flight conditions.
