      8  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries to
      9  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt implement test programs in a variety of languages.  At the moment, ATF
     10  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt offers C, C++ and POSIX shell bindings with which to implement tests.
     11  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt These bindings all offer a similar set of functionality and any test
     12  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt program written with them exposes a consistent user interface.
     13  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt 
     14  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt ATF-based test programs rely on a separate runtime engine to execute them.
     15  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt The runtime engine is in charge of isolating the test programs from the
     16  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt rest of the system to ensure that their results are deterministic and that
     17  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt they cannot affect the running system.  The runtime engine is also
     18  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt responsible for gathering the results of all tests and composing reports.
     19  1.1.1.3.6.1  yamt The current runtime of choice is Kyua.
