     15  1.1.1.2  jmmv    The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries and
     16  1.1.1.2  jmmv    utilities designed to ease unattended application testing in the hands of
     17  1.1.1.2  jmmv    developers and end users of a specific piece of software.
     18      1.1  jmmv 
     19  1.1.1.2  jmmv    As regards developers, ATF provides the necessary means to easily create
     20  1.1.1.2  jmmv    test suites composed of multiple test programs, which in turn are a
     21  1.1.1.2  jmmv    collection of test cases. It also attempts to simplify the debugging of
     22  1.1.1.2  jmmv    problems when these test cases detect an error by providing as much
     23  1.1.1.2  jmmv    information as possible about the failure.
     24      1.1  jmmv 
     25  1.1.1.2  jmmv    As regards users, it simplifies the process of running the test suites
     26  1.1.1.2  jmmv    and, in special, encourages end users to run them often: they do not need
     27  1.1.1.2  jmmv    to have source trees around nor any other development tools installed to
     28  1.1.1.2  jmmv    be able to certify that a given piece of software works on their machine
     29  1.1.1.2  jmmv    as advertised.
