The tests that are run by OONI can be divided into two macro categories: Traffic Manipulation and Content
Blocking.

When running a Content Blocking test the inputs go through a preprocessing phase. The aim of this phase is to
collect a set of hostnames, URLs and/or keywords that are likely to be censored on the target network.

## Test Writing HOWTO
When implementing an OONI test, the first step is the test specification. Such specification should follow
[wiki:doc/OONI/Tests/TestTemplate the provided test template].
[the provided test template](./doc/OONI/Tests/TestTemplate).
The test should then be categorized as of Traffic Manipulation type or Content Blocking and added to
[wiki:doc/OONI/Tests the main Test page].
[the main Test page](./doc/OONI/Tests).
When writing a new test it is ideal if a ticket for such test is created and added to cc hellais, ioerror, isis.
== Censorship Taxonomy ==
## Censorship Taxonomy
We will research various surveillance and censorship methodologies in order to understand their false positive/false negative rates. We will produce high level descriptions of how the tests will work as well as in-depth technical descriptions. In describing the methodology we will focus on explaining the meaning and predicted accuracy of returned results.
