1# `toranj` test framework 2 3`toranj` is a test framework for OpenThread. 4 5It provides two modes: 6 7- `toranj-cli` which enables testing of OpenThread using its CLI interface. 8- `toranj-ncp` which enables testing of the combined behavior of OpenThread (in NCP mode), spinel interface, and `wpantund` driver on linux. 9 10`toranj` features: 11 12- It is developed in Python. 13- It can be used to simulate multiple nodes forming complex network topologies. 14- It allows testing of network interactions between many nodes (IPv6 traffic exchanges). 15- `toranj` in NCP mode runs `wpantund` natively with OpenThread in NCP mode on simulation platform (real-time). 16- `toranj` in CLI mode runs `ot-cli-ftd` on simulation platform (real-time). 17- `toranj` tests run as part of GitHub Actions pull request validation in OpenThread and `wpantund` GitHub projects. 18 19## `toranj` modes 20 21- [`toranj-cli` guide](README_CLI.md) 22- [`toranj-ncp` guide](README_NCP.md) 23 24--- 25 26What does `"toranj"` mean? it's the name of a common symmetric weaving [pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_carpet#/media/File:Toranj_-_special_circular_design_of_Iranian_carpets.JPG) used in Persian carpets. 27
