=head1 NAME
Tapper - A flexible and open test infrastructure
=head1 ABOUT
Tapper is a modular, flexible and open test infrastructure.
It's only primary assumption is the ubiquitous use of the B<Test
Anything Protocol> (TAP). Internally it is based on technology known
from the CPAN testing infrastructure, extending it with automation and
advanced querying.
It allows to setup a test infrastructure, consisting of
=over 4
=item a central TAP database
to where tests can send their results for storage and later
evaluation, using a L<DPath|Data::DPath> based query language over a
history of L<TAP-DOMs|TAP::DOM>.
=item extremely lightweight APIs
to allow QA in very low-level, toolchain constrained environments,
like OS testing or embedded platforms
=item support for "classic" userland, OS, and virtualization testing
=item an optional advanced automation layer
=back
Tapper originated in the AMD Operating System Research Center (OSRC),
where it is used for extreme continuous integration testing of
everything: from software toolchains over Linux to Xen and KVM.
It is also used in the Perl benchmarking infrastructure
L<Perl::Formance|http://perlformance.net>.
Most of Tapper is OS and platform independent (x86, ARM) to cover
broad range of test targets. Only the central automation layer (MCP)
is a bit Linux centric in its use of external dependencies.
