<description>
- <p><em>Common Test</em> is a portable application for automated
- testing. It is suitable for black-box testing of target
- systems of any type (i.e. not necessarily implemented in Erlang),
- as well as for white-box testing of Erlang/OTP programs.
- Black-box testing is performed via standard O&amp;M
- interfaces (such as SNMP, HTTP, Corba, Telnet, etc) and,
- if required, via user specific interfaces (often called test
- ports). White-box testing of Erlang/OTP programs is easily
- accomplished by calling the target API functions directly
- from the test case functions. Common Test also integrates
- usage of the OTP cover tool for code coverage analysis of
- Erlang/OTP programs.</p>
-
- <p>Common Test executes test suite programs automatically,
- without operator interaction. Test progress and results is
- printed to logs on HTML format, easily browsed with a standard
- web browser. Common Test also sends notifications about progress
- and results via an OTP event manager to event handlers plugged
- in to the system. This way users can integrate their own
- programs for e.g. logging, database storing or supervision with
- Common Test.</p>
-
- <p>Common Test provides libraries that contain useful support
- functions to fill various testing needs and requirements.
- There is for example support for flexible test declarations
- by means of so called test specifications. There is also support
- for central configuration and control of multiple
- independent test sessions (towards different target systems)
- running in parallel.</p>
-
- <p>Common Test is implemented as a framework based on the OTP Test
- Server application.</p>
+ <p>The <c>Common Test</c> application is a framework for implementing and performing
+automatic and semi-automatic execution of test cases.</p>
