+marionette-harness
+==================
+
+Marionette is an automation driver for Mozilla's Gecko engine. It can remotely
+control either the UI or the internal JavaScript of a Gecko platform, such as
+Firefox. It can control both the chrome (i.e. menus and functions) or the
+content (the webpage loaded inside the browsing context), giving a high level
+of control and ability to replicate user actions. In addition to performing
+actions on the browser, Marionette can also read the properties and attributes
+of the DOM.
+
+The marionette_harness package contains the test runner for Marionette, and
+allows you to run automated tests written in Python for Gecko based
+applications. Therefore it offers the necessary testcase classes, which are
+based on the unittest framework.
+
+For more information and the repository please checkout:

+
+
+Example
+-------
+
+The following command will run the tests as specified via a manifest file, or
+test path, or test folder in Firefox:
+
+ marionette --binary %path_to_firefox% [manifest_file | test_file | test_folder]
+
+To get an overview about all possible option run `marionette --help`.
