+Introductory information                        Automated Testing Framework
+===========================================================================
+
+
+Introduction
+************
+
+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.
