+DejaGnu is a framework for testing other programs. Its purpose is to
+provide a single front end for all tests. Think of it as a custom library
+of Tcl procedures crafted to support writing a test harness. A test
+harness is the testing infrastructure that is created to support a
+specific program or tool. Each program can have multiple testsuites, all
+supported by a single test harness. DejaGnu is written in Expect, which in
+turn uses Tcl -- Tool command language.
