longDescription = ''
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.
