+# Protocol Tests Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+I have successfully implemented comprehensive tests for all non-Raft protocol simulations in DS-Sim using the headless testing framework.
+
+## Implemented Test Classes
+
+### JUnit Test Classes (in `/src/test/java/testing/protocols/`)
+
+1. **PingPongProtocolTest.java** - Tests ping-pong message exchange
+2. **PingPongSturmProtocolTest.java** - Tests ping-pong Sturm variant
+3. **BroadcastProtocolTest.java** - Tests broadcast protocol
+4. **BasicMulticastProtocolTest.java** - Tests basic multicast
+5. **ReliableMulticastProtocolTest.java** - Tests reliable multicast with delivery guarantees
+6. **BerkeleyProtocolTest.java** - Tests Berkeley time synchronization
+7. **TimeSynchronizationProtocolTest.java** - Tests internal and external time sync
+8. **CommitProtocolTest.java** - Tests one-phase and two-phase commit protocols
+9. **SlowConnectionProtocolTest.java** - Tests slow connection simulation
+10. **BaseProtocolTest.java** - Base class with common utilities
+11. **AllProtocolsTestSuite.java** - JUnit suite to run all tests
+
+### Standalone Test Runners
+
+1. **ProtocolTestRunner.java** - Standalone test runner that doesn't require JUnit
+2. **run-protocol-tests.sh** - Shell script for running tests
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+Each protocol test verifies:
+- Protocol activation
+- Message exchange patterns
+- No errors occur
+- Protocol-specific behavior
+
+### Specific Verifications
+
+- **Ping-Pong**: Message alternation, counter increments
+- **Broadcast/Multicast**: One-to-many delivery
+- **Reliable Multicast**: Delivery guarantees, acknowledgments
+- **Time Sync**: Clock adjustments, synchronization messages
+- **Commit Protocols**: Transaction phases, coordinator behavior
+- **Slow Connection**: Message delays
+
+## Running the Tests
+
+### Option 1: Standalone Test Runner (Recommended)
+```bash
+mvn compile
+java -cp target/classes testing.ProtocolTestRunner
+```
+
+### Option 2: Shell Script
+```bash
+./run-protocol-tests.sh
+```
+
+### Option 3: JUnit Tests (if Maven Surefire is properly configured)
+```bash
+mvn test
+```
+
+### Option 4: Individual Protocol Test
+```bash
+java -cp target/classes testing.examples.TestPingPongVerified
+```
+
+## Maven Configuration
+
+Updated `pom.xml` with:
+- JUnit Platform Suite dependency for test organization
+- Surefire plugin configuration to include all test patterns
+- Headless mode system property
+
+## Key Features
+
+1. **No GUI Required**: All tests run in headless mode
+2. **Automated Verification**: Each test has specific verification rules
+3. **Fast Execution**: Tests run for 1-2 seconds each
+4. **Comprehensive Coverage**: All non-Raft protocols are tested
+5. **Flexible Framework**: Easy to add new tests
+
+## Example Test Structure
+
+```java
+@Test
+@DisplayName("Test protocol activation")
+public void testProtocolActivation() throws Exception {
+    SimulationResult result = runner.runSimulation(
+        "saved-simulations/protocol.dat", 
+        2000
+    );
+    
+    ProtocolVerifier verifier = new ProtocolVerifier()
+        .expectLog("Protocol.*activated")
+        .expectLog("Message sent")
+        .expectNoLog("ERROR");
+        
+    VerificationResult verification = verifier.verify(result.getAllLogs());
+    assertTrue(verification.passed());
+}
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Raft protocol tests were excluded as requested
+- Tests focus on basic functionality and error-free execution
+- Each test runs the simulation for 1-2 seconds
+- All tests use the headless testing framework developed earlier
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. Add performance benchmarks
+2. Test fault injection scenarios
+3. Verify specific protocol properties (e.g., FIFO ordering)
+4. Add parameterized tests for different configurations
+5. Generate test reports with detailed logs
