-- Natools.Tests is an abstract interface for objects holding the results   --
-- of a series of tests.                                                    --
--                                                                          --
-- Each test can have one of the following results:                         --
--   * Success, when everything goes well,                                  --
--   * Fail, when the test itself went fine the but the result is wrong,    --
--   * Error, when the test itself went wrong, which does not tell whether  --
--     the tested thing is fine or not,                                     --
--   * Skipped, when for any reason the test has not been performed         --
--     (e.g. missing dependency).                                           --
--                                                                          --
-- Tests are gathered into sections, which can be nested. What a section    --
-- exactly means is left to the implementation of this interface.           --
