This is a c++ wrapper for the NIST Statistical Test Suite. See http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/toolkit/rng/documentation_software.html for details. As the NIST suite is public domain so is this wrapper. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED.

To have each test wrapped in a clean class that can easily be used as a component. 2. To get a usable output of the test data in _one_ table which can then be processed by the data processing software of choice, e.g. qtiPlot, Origin, etc. To build just type "make". To get some help on the available command line options, just execute the program without any command line option. Have fun, Jochen
