ec5347e2c775f027573ce5648b910361aa926c01Automatic UpdaterThe Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries and
ddccd5811feff696ba460dabfb666ce61040f545Andreas Gustafssonutilities designed to ease unattended application testing in the hands of
ddccd5811feff696ba460dabfb666ce61040f545Andreas Gustafssondevelopers and end users of a specific piece of software.
dafcb997e390efa4423883dafd100c975c4095d6Mark AndrewsAs regards developers, ATF provides the necessary means to easily create
dafcb997e390efa4423883dafd100c975c4095d6Mark Andrewstest suites composed of multiple test programs, which in turn are a
dafcb997e390efa4423883dafd100c975c4095d6Mark Andrewscollection of test cases. It also attempts to simplify the debugging of
dafcb997e390efa4423883dafd100c975c4095d6Mark Andrewsproblems when these test cases detect an error by providing as much
