In the CTS Documentation directory, you will find

CTSManual.doc ) • The CTS Manual (

CTF_How_To.doc ) that covers setup, fixing Autodesk Maya® errors,
creating and running a simple test procedure, how to create your own test, and how to add a
test to a local copy of the framework.

• A COLLADA CTF How To (

README.doc ) that explains how to create a test procedure and submit results. • A brief overview (

HowToAddSoftware , see the HowToIntegrateSoftware.doc , which
describes the methods you'll need in your integration script.
There are two Python scripts in the Scripts subdirectory of HowToAddSoftware : FDebug and FMimic. FDebug
helps you debug your integration script by printing a message and parameters for all steps. FMimic is a simple
renderer that attempts to pass by copying the input and providing a single test image. It is used to validate that this
type of renderer cannot pass the conformance suite. It also serves as a good example for command-line tools that
want to integrate with the suite.
