Computer Forensic Tool Testing

National Institute of Justice - Computer Forensic Tool Testing: "The objective of the Computer Forensics Tool Testing project is to provide a measure of assurance that the tools used in computer forensics investigations produce accurate results. This is accomplished by developing specifications and test methods for computer forensics tools and then testing specific tools to those specifications. The test results provide the information necessary for toolmakers to improve tools, for users to make informed choices about acquiring and using computer forensics tools, and for the legal community and others to understand the tools' capabilities. Our approach for testing computer forensic tools is based on well recognized methodologies for conformance testing and quality testing. "
