+# 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.**
+
