Test  \n40 assertions are described as general statements of conditions that can be checked after a test is  \n41 executed. Each assertion appears in one or more test cases consisting of a test protocol and the  \n42 expected test results. The test protocol specifies detailed procedures for setting up the test, 43 executing the test, and measuring the test results.  \n44  \n45 As this document [evolves updated versions will be posted at](evolves updated versions will be posted at www.cftt.nist.gov)[ ](evolves updated versions will be posted at www.cftt.nist.gov)[www.cftt.nist.gov](evolves updated versions will be posted at www.cftt.nist.gov).  \n46  \n* NIST does not endorse nor recommend products or trade names identified in this paper.
