Validation Testing

As most of you know, one condition for success that all of the practice labs
state is the ability to reach all parts of the network from all other parts.
I.e. ping from any interface to any interface

In terms of a general practice, I use two techniques.

1) are all the routes in my tables that I expect to be in my tables. This is
actually done incrementally as part of my configuration routine

2) I check my map for what look like the two points furthest apart and test
from there. If that is good, I make the ASSumption that things are as they
should be.

Not that I want to be saying this someplace where Lab proctors might see and
make notes about me, but I find that testing from everywhere to everywhere
might cost more time than I can afford.

Any thoughts? Techniques? Shortcuts? ( recognizing that what you say may be
used against you :-> )
