 Introduction
 ************
 
-The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries and
-utilities designed to ease unattended application testing in the hands of
-developers and end users of a specific piece of software.
+The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries to
+implement test programs in a variety of languages.  At the moment, ATF
+offers C, C++ and POSIX shell bindings with which to implement tests.
+These bindings all offer a similar set of functionality and any test
+program written with them exposes a consistent user interface.
 
-As regards developers, ATF provides the necessary means to easily create
-test suites composed of multiple test programs, which in turn are a
-collection of test cases.  It also attempts to simplify the debugging of
-problems when these test cases detect an error by providing as much
-information as possible about the failure.
-
-As regards users, it simplifies the process of running the test suites and,
-in special, encourages end users to run them often: they do not need to
-have source trees around nor any other development tools installed to be
-able to certify that a given piece of software works on their machine as
-advertised.
+ATF-based test programs rely on a separate runtime engine to execute them.
+The runtime engine is in charge of isolating the test programs from the
+rest of the system to ensure that their results are deterministic and that
+they cannot affect the running system.  The runtime engine is also
+responsible for gathering the results of all tests and composing reports.
+The current runtime of choice is Kyua.
