- DejaGnu is a framework for testing other programs. Its purpose is to
-provide a single front end for all tests. Beyond this, DejaGnu offers
-several advantages for testing:
-
- - The flexibility and consistency of the DejaGnu framework
- make it easy to write tests for any program.
-
- - DejaGnu provides a layer of abstraction which makes all
- tests (if correctly written) portable to any host or target
- where a program must be tested. For instance, a test for
- GDB can run (from any Unix based host) on any target
- architecture supported by DejaGnu. Currently DejaGnu runs
- tests on several single board computers, whose operating
- software ranges from just a boot monitor to a full-fledged,
- Unix-like realtime OS.
-
- - DejaGnu is written in expect, which in turn uses Tcl
- (Tool command language). The framework comprises two parts:
- the testing framework and the testsuites themselves. Tests
- are usually written in expect using Tcl.
-
- Bugs can be reported to bug-dejagnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
+DejaGnu is a framework for testing other programs. Its purpose is to
+provide a single front end for all tests. Think of it as a custom library
+of Tcl procedures crafted to support writing a test harness. A Test
+Harness is the testing infrastructure that is created to support a
+specific program or tool. Each program can have multiple testsuites, all
+supported by a single test harness. DejaGnu is written in Expect, which
+in turn uses Tcl -- Tool command language.
