4 Running Test Suites

4.1  Using the test server controller

The test server controller provides a low level interface to all the Test Server functionality. It is possible to use this interface directly, but it is recommended to use a framework such as Common Test instead. If no existing framework suits your needs, you could of course build your own on top of the test server controller. Some information about how to do this can be found in the section named "Writing you own test server framework" in the Test Server User's Guide.

For information about using the controller directly, please see all available functions in the reference manual for test_server_ctrl.
