## Using test vectors
-The test scripts are written in Python 3 and have uniform interfaces: they accept a path to the directory with the block encryption/decryption utilities and allow to run them [using Intel SDE](https://github.com/egor-tensin/aesni#running-on-older-cpus).

They also write log files with a short summary at the end.
-In general, each scripts counts the number of tests that failed, succeeded, caused an error, and the tests that were skipped.

You must therefore make sure that
* no errors occured while running the tests,
* all the tests succeeded,
* and the skipped tests were skipped for a good reason.
