General information
The two main interfaces for running tests with Common Test
are an executable program named ct_run and an
erlang module named ct. The ct_run program
is compiled for the underlying operating system (e.g. Unix/Linux
or Windows) during the build of the Erlang/OTP system, and is
installed automatically with other executable programs in
the top level bin directory of Erlang/OTP.
The ct interface functions can be called from the Erlang shell,
or from any Erlang function, on any supported platform.
The Common Test application is installed with the Erlang/OTP
system and no additional installation step is required to start using
Common Test by means of the ct_run executable program, and/or
the interface functions in the ct module.
