  Description     : regression testing system for the S-Lang scripting language

 TESS is the (Te)st (S)ystem for (S)-Lang, which aims at reducing the
 workload and ad-hoc nature of regression testing S-Lang software, by
 collecting common testing elements into a single, easy-to-use framework.

 TESS provides the S-Lang developer nominal mechanisms for tailoring the
 S-Lang environment and invoking functions with arbitrary inputs, while
 transparently inspecting and cleaning the stack, gathering pass/fail
 statistics, and providing error recovery from selected exceptions.

A preliminary version of the package is available at the apt-getable
repository:

   http://people.debian.org/~rafael/tess

The package will be collectively maintained by the Debian JED Group
(http://pkg-jed.alioth.debian.org/).
