  <description>
    <p><em>Test Server</em> is a portable test server for
      automated application testing. The server can run test suites
      and log progress and results to HTML
      pages. The main purpose of Test Server is to act as engine
      inside customized test tools. A callback interface for 
      such framework applications is provided.</p>
    <p>In brief the test server supports:</p>
    <list type="bulleted">
      <item>Running multiple, concurrent test suites</item>
      <item>Test suites may contain other test suites, in a tree fashion</item>
      <item>Logging of the events in a test suite, on both suite and case levels</item>
      <item>HTML presentation of test suite results</item>
      <item>HTML presentation of test suite code</item>
      <item>Support for test suite authors, e.g. start/stop slave nodes</item>
      <item>Call trace on target and slave nodes</item>
    </list>
    <p>For information about how to write test cases and test suites,
      please see the Test Server User's Guide and the reference
      manual for the <c>test_server</c> module.
      </p>
    <p><em>Common Test</em> is an existing test tool application based on the 
      OTP Test Server. Please read the Common Test User's Guide for more information.
