 == Introduction ==

 The current test suite is a combination of different methods and
 techniques which makes it difficult to maintain.  It also relies on screen
 ouput to determine valid tests.

 This project involves converting the current test suite to the new format
 which has already been setup and prepared.

 You will learn about software and hardware testing in embedded computing.
 The abilities learned during this project will be transferable to any area
 within software engineering.



 == Requirements ==

 Knowledge of testing is not required. The ideal candidate should have a
 firm grasp of the C language and enjoys the occasional challenge.  Each
 test conversion has varied levels of difficulty ranging from 1-10.  Some
 tests will require refactoring of code.  Light knowledge of the Python
 programming language is an asset.


 == Preparation ==

 It would be beneficial for anyone applying to briefly familiarise
 themselves with the following topics:

   * Unit tests.
   * Mock tests.
   * Temporal tests.
   * Continuous Integration
