  "github_readme_excerpt": "# Welcome to the ATF project!\n\nATF, or Automated Testing Framework, is a **collection of libraries** to\nwrite test programs in **C, C++ and POSIX shell**.\n\nThe ATF libraries offer a simple API.  The API is orthogonal through the\nvarious bindings, allowing developers to quickly learn how to write test\nprograms in different languages.\n\nATF-based test programs offer a **consistent end-user command-line\ninterface** to allow both humans and automation to run the tests.\n\nATF-based test programs **rely on an execution engine** to be run and\nthis execution engine is *not* shipped with ATF.\n**[Kyua](https://github.com/freebsd/kyua/) is the engine of choice.**\n\n## Download\n\nFormal releases for source files are available for download from GitHub:\n\n* [atf 0.23](../../releases/tag/atf-0.23), released on March 29th, 2025.\n\n## Installation\n\nYou are encouraged to install binary packages for your operating system\nwherever available:\n\n* FreeBSD 10.0 and above: install the `atf` package with `pkg install atf`.\n\n* NetBSD with pkgsrc: install the `pkgsrc/devel/atf` package.\n\n* OpenBSD: install the `devel/atf` package with `pkg_add atf`.\n\n* Ubuntu: install the `libatf-dev` and `atf-sh` packages with\n  `apt install libatf-dev atf-sh`.\n\nShould you want to build and install ATF from the source tree provided\nhere, follow the instructions in the [INSTALL file](INSTALL.md).\n\n## More Reading\n\n* AUTHORS: List of authors and contributors for this project.\n\n* COPYING: License information.\n\n* INSTALL.md: Compilation and installation instructions.
