  Description     : simple testing framework for command line applications

Cram is a functional testing framework for command line applications based on
Mercurial's unified test format. Cram runs each command and compares the
command output in the test with the command's actual output.


At least two packages (marked as affected by this RFP) have test suites that
rely on this program and currently cannot be run on autopkgtest because of
cram's absence in Debian.

The repository with most recent activity appears to be the one on github
(linked above), but there is also a copy on bitbucket:

and this is the pypi page:
