  <title>Framework for Running Test Suites on Software Tools</title>

  <description>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:

​

1. The flexibility and consistency of the DejaGnu framework make it

   easy to write tests for any program.

​

1. DejaGnu provides a layer of abstraction that allows you to write

   tests that are 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 that DejaGnu

   supports.

​

1. All tests have the same output format.  This makes it easy to

   integrate testing into other software development processes.

   DejaGnu's output is designed to be parsed by other filtering

   scripts and it is also human-readable.

​

DejaGnu is written in expect, which in turn uses "Tcl"--Tool command

language.

​

Running tests requires two things: the testing framework and the test

suites themselves.</description>
