ABOUT

9       Tapper is a modular, flexible and open test infrastructure.
10
11       Its only primary assumption is the ubiquitous use of the Test Anything
12       Protocol (TAP). Internally it is based on technology known from the
13       CPAN testing infrastructure, extending it with automation and advanced
14       querying.
15
16       It allows to setup a test infrastructure, consisting of
17
18       a central TAP database
19           to where tests can send their results for storage and later
20           evaluation, using a DPath based query language over a history of
21           TAP-DOMs.
22
23       extremely lightweight APIs
24           to allow QA in very low-level, toolchain constrained environments,
25           like OS testing or embedded platforms
26
27       support for "classic" userland, OS, and virtualization testing
28       an optional advanced automation layer
29
30       Tapper originated in the AMD Operating System Research Center (OSRC),
31       where it is used for extreme continuous integration testing of
32       everything: from software toolchains over Linux to Xen and KVM.
33
34       It is also used in the Perl benchmarking infrastructure Perl::Formance
35       <http://perlformance.net>.
36
37       Most of Tapper is OS and platform independent (x86, ARM) to cover broad
38       range of test targets. Only the central automation layer (MCP) is a bit
39       Linux centric in its use of external dependencies.
