The <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span> keeps track of all passed/failed testing tools
<span class="bold"><strong>assertions</strong></span>, provides an ability to check
the <span class="bold"><strong>test progress</strong></span> and generates a <span class="bold"><strong>result report</strong></span> in several different formats. The <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span>
supplies command line test runners that initialize the framework and run
the requested tests.
</p>
<p>
Depending on the selected <span class="bold"><strong>compilation flags</strong></span>
the function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">main</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
default implementation, that invoke the supplied test runner, can be generated
automatically as well.
</p>
<p>
The <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span> is intended to be used both for a simple and
non trivial testing. It is not intended to be used with production code.
In this case the <span class="bold"><strong>Program Execution Monitor</strong></span>
is more suitable.
</p>
<p>
Given the largely differing requirements of new and advanced users, it is
clear that the <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span> must provide both simple, easy-to-use
interfaces with limited customization options and advanced interfaces, which
allow unit testing to be fully customized. Accordingly the material provided
in this documentation is split into two sections:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
<li class="listitem">
<span class="bold"><strong>The User's Guide</strong></span> covers all functionality
that doesn't require knowledge of the <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span> internals
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<span class="bold"><strong>The Advanced User's Guide</strong></span> covers all
implementation details required for a user to understand the advanced
customization options available in the <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span>, and
for a user interested in extending the testing framework.
</li>
</ol></div>
<p>
For those interested in getting started quickly please visit <span class="bold"><strong>collection
of examples</strong></span> presented in this documentation.
