At the moment, ATF 10234370Sjasoneoffers C, C++ and POSIX shell bindings with which to implement tests. 11234370SjasoneThese bindings all offer a similar set of functionality and any test 12234370Sjasoneprogram written with them exposes a consistent user interface. 13234370Sjasone 14234370SjasoneATF-based test programs rely on a separate runtime engine to execute them. 15234370SjasoneThe runtime engine is in charge of isolating the test programs from the 16234370Sjasonerest of the system to ensure that their results are deterministic and that 17234370Sjasonethey cannot affect the running system. The runtime engine is also 18234370Sjasoneresponsible for gathering the results of all tests and composing reports. 19234370SjasoneThe current runtime of choice is Kyua. 20234370Sjasone 21234370Sjasone 22234370SjasoneOther documents 23234370Sjasone*************** 24234370Sjasone 25234370Sjasone* AUTHORS: List of authors and contributors for this project. 26234370Sjasone 27234370Sjasone* COPYING: License information. 28234370Sjasone 29250991Smarcel* INSTALL: Compilation and installation instructions.
