        When writing automated test sutes, there are some things that should
        "just work". Problems like managing test data, logging, and results are
        things that shouldn't have to be re-invented for every test project you work
        on. OpenCafe aims to address that problem by providing solutions for the
        commonly occuring challenges in the development and operation of functional
        and end-to-end test suites.
        
        Capabilities
        ------------
        
        - Common sense conventions for test data and log management
        - Per test run and per test logs and results
        - Reference drivers for performing non-UI testing including HTTP, SSH,
          and WinRM
        - Design patterns for building test clients for RESTful API applications
        - Plugin system to allow for further customization
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Core package
        ------------
        
        From PyPI (recommended):
        
        ::
        
            $ pip install opencafe
        
        From source:
        
        ::
        
            $ git clone https://github.com/CafeHub/opencafe.git
            $ cd opencafe
            $ pip install .
        
        Post-install Configuration
        --------------------------
        
        Post-install, the ``cafe-config`` cli tool will become available. It is used
        for installing plugins and initializing OpenCafe's default directory
        structure.
        
        Initialization
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        Running the ``cafe-config init`` command will create the default OpenCafe
        directory structure in a directory named ``.opencafe``. This directory will
        be located in either the current user's home directory or in the root of the
        virtual environment you currently have active. This directory contains the
        ``/configs`` directory which stores configuration data, the ``/logs``
        directory which holds the logging output from all tests executed, and the
        ``engine.config`` file, which sets the base test repository and allows the
        user to override the default directories for logging and configuration.
        
        Plugins
        ^^^^^^^
        
        OpenCafe uses a plugin system to allow for core functionality to be extended
        or for additional capabilities to be added. Plugins are essentially Python
        packages, which may have their own Python dependencies. This design allows
        implementors to only install dependencies for the functionality that they
        intend to use, as the additional dependencies are installed at the same time
        as the plugin.
        
        The ``cafe-config plugins`` command is used to list and install plugins.
        
        Example:
        
        ::
        
            $ cafe-config plugins list
            =================================
            * Available Plugins
              ... elasticsearch
              ... http

              ... rsyslog

              ... subunit
              ... winrm
