+# Introduction
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+Take full reuse of Python's existing powerful libraries: [`Requests`][requests], [`unittest`][unittest] and [`Locust`][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`][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`][PyUnitReport].
+- With reuse of [`Locust`][Locust], you can run performance test without extra work.
+- CLI command supported, perfect combination with [Jenkins][Jenkins].
