Well, I may have mis-stated my intentions in the last email. What I want to see is some mechanism and *code* to test these interfaces and verify that the low (AND high) level code is actually adhering to the interface, as well as attemp to isolate which side of an interface a failure has occured on. I want fault isolation, and TESTING to make sure that any fault we have seen in the past can be detected with easy-to run code.
