The basic test suite will start after pressing the 'Start' button. The
user will not need to select anything in order to achieve the results
as in the current version of the NDT.

User will need to configure the tests only if he/she wants to tests
some aspects more deeply.

The default test suite should run about 30 seconds. If there are some
problems on the link, this time might be a little longer (but still
less than 1 minute).

I think that all the tests (default + middlebox detection + other)
should take no more than 2 minutes.
