## Historique du projet et usages

Cram is a functional testing framework for command-line applications, built around test files that look like annotated interactive shell sessions.

### Historique du projet

Cram's official site describes tests as snippets of interactive shell sessions: commands are run, and their actual output is compared with expected output stored in `.t` files.

### Historique d'adoption

The project's NEWS file shows a compact release history from 0.1 in 2010 through 0.7 in 2016. Over that period it gained interactive update support, regex and glob matching, temporary-directory isolation, Python 3 support, `.cramrc`, shell selection, and xUnit XML output.

### Modes d'utilisation

Developers use Cram for black-box CLI tests where shell commands and expected output are easier to review than imperative test code. It prints unified diffs for failures, can write `.err` files, and can interactively merge observed output back into tests.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Cram has lasting package-manager appeal because it tests command-line behavior at the packaging boundary. A formula or distro maintainer can exercise installed commands exactly as users run them, without importing the application as a library.

### Chronologie

- 2010: Version 0.1 was released.
- 2010: Versions 0.3 and 0.4 added environment isolation, interactive updates, regex and glob matching.
- 2013: Version 0.6 added `.cramrc`, shell selection, and Arch Linux package metadata.
- 2016: Version 0.7 added debug mode, shell options, and xUnit XML output.

### Related projects

- Cram is conceptually close to shell transcript testing and Mercurial-style `.t` tests, but is distributed as its own Python command-line test runner.
