# Welcome to the ATF project!
ATF, or Automated Testing Framework, is a **collection of libraries** to
write test programs in **C, C++ and POSIX shell**.
The ATF libraries offer a simple API. The API is orthogonal through the
various bindings, allowing developers to quickly learn how to write test
programs in different languages.
ATF-based test programs offer a **consistent end-user command-line
interface** to allow both humans and automation to run the tests.
ATF-based test programs **rely on an execution engine** to be run and
this execution engine is *not* shipped with ATF.
**[Kyua](https://github.com/jmmv/kyua/) is the engine of choice.**
