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:

    - 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.
