Native tests are written in +Python and they follow the unittest pattern, but any executable can serve +as a test. + +Avocado is composed of: + + - A test runner that lets you execute tests. Those tests can be either written + in your language of choice, or be written in Python and use the available + libraries. In both cases, you get facilities such as automated log + and system information collection. + + - Libraries that help you write tests in a concise, yet expressive + and powerful way. + + - Plugins that can extend and add new functionality to the Avocado Framework. + +Avocado is built on the experience accumulated with Autotest, while improving +on its weaknesses and shortcomings. |
