<div>I have been trying to write a test framework for a pretty simple command server application in python. I have not been able to figure out how to test the socket server.</div>
<div>I would really appreciate if you could help me out in testing this application using unittest.</div>
<div>Please find the commandserver.py file attached. test_commandserver.py is the file i came up with.</div>
<div>Please kindly review it.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
The tests cases I came up with are:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
1. Start the server</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
2. Establish connection with client</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
3. Test the server by sending 3 commands</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
- loopback command should send all payload.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
- print command should print payload</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
- close command should close the connection between server and client.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
4. Raise error if any other command is send other than listed 3 commands</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Other nominal cases</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
1. Check if both the server and client are closed. It might happen that only one is closed.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
2. Go to sleep/Cancel the connection if no command is received after a certain period of time.</div>
