+ <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>
