General Information
The two main interfaces for running tests with Common Test
are an executable program named
ct_run and the
Erlang module ct.
ct_run is compiled for the underlying operating system (for example,
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. No extra installation step is required to start using
Common Test through the ct_run executable program,
and/or the interface functions in the ct module.
