The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries and utilities designed to ease unattended application testing in the hands of developers and end users of a specific piece of software. As regards developers, ATF provides the necessary means to easily create test suites composed of multiple test programs, which in turn are a collection of test cases. It also attempts to simplify the debugging of problems when these test cases detect an error by providing as much information as possible about the failure. As regards users, it simplifies the process of running the test suites and, in special, encourages end users to run them often: they do not need to have source trees around nor any other development tools installed to be able to certify that a given piece of software works on their machine as advertised. Yes, these are (part of) the results of my SoC 2007 project :-)
