Test::AutomaitonFramework (TAF) is a Perl Win32/64 module to assist Test Automation by:

	1. Test Case Management: list, report, log, exec test cases		(View test latest and historical result; exec TC and Test suite)
	2. Simplicity: No programming is required. No Manul to read             (perl -MTest::AutomationFramework -e "install") 
	3. MultiPurpose:  TC scripts, Perf, Lab setup etc  			(Perl, C, C#, java ....... )
	4. User Fridedly: IE-based web UI 					(TC list, reporting, execution are done by *ONE* mouse click )
	5. Support Win32/IE 							(This is the tested environment)
	6. Free software and free support
