.TH TESTR 1 "2011-11-03" "14.1.0" "TestR User Manuals"
.SH NAME
.PP
testr \- Continuous testing tool for Ruby
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBtestr\fP [\fIOPTION\fP]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This program is a simple command-line user interface for 
.BR testr-driver (1).  
It
demonstrates how the components of TestR work together and also serves as an
example of how you can create your own TestR user interface.
.PP
When run, it presents you with a menu of single-character commands that you
can enter, loads the test execution overhead into 
.BR testr-master (1), 
and
finally notifies you when the master is ready to run test files.
.PP
It also launches 
.BR testr-herald (1) 
alongside 
.BR testr-master (1).  
When the herald
reports a modified file that belongs to the test execution overhead, this
program notifies you accordingly and then replaces the current master with a
new one that will absorb the modified test execution overhead into itself.
