+
+
+New name for ``ApiTestEngine``.
+
+Design Philosophy
+-----------------
+
+Take full reuse of Python's existing powerful libraries: `Requests`_, `unittest`_ and `Locust`_. And achieve the goal of API automation test, production environment monitoring, and API performance test, with a concise and elegant manner.
+
+Key Features
+------------
+
+- Inherit all powerful features of `Requests`_, just have fun to handle HTTP in human way.
+- Define testcases in YAML or JSON format in concise and elegant manner.
+- Supports ``function``/``variable``/``extract``/``validate`` mechanisms to create full test scenarios.
+- With ``debugtalk.py`` plugin, module functions can be auto-discovered in recursive upward directories.
+- Testcases can be run in diverse ways, with single testset, multiple testsets, or entire project folder.
+- Test report is concise and clear, with detailed log records. See `PyUnitReport`_.
+- With reuse of `Locust`_, you can run performance test without extra work.
+- CLI command supported, perfect combination with `Jenkins`_.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+HttpRunner is rich documented.
+
+- `User documentation`_ helps you to make the most use of HttpRunner
+- `Development process blogs`_ will make you fully understand HttpRunner
