<h3><a name="id62898">4.1
Using the test server controller</a></h3>
<p>The test server controller provides a low level interface to
all the Test Server functionality. It is possible to use this
interface directly, but it is recommended to use a framework
such as <strong>Common Test</strong> instead. If no existing framework
suits your needs, you could of course build your own
on top of the test server controller. Some information about how
to do this can be found in the section named "Writing you own
test server framework" in the Test Server User's Guide.
</p>
<p>For information about using the controller directly, please see
all available functions in the reference manual for
<span class="code">test_server_ctrl</span>.
