+#Functional test
+
+#What ?
+Create a test suite for all tests about SET/GET commands.
+Types,functions and Domains are tested.
+
+#How ?
+We set environment variables in the cmake.
+All temporary file are stored in the build directory.
+XML files depends on cmake variables so they are configured at build time and stored in {build_dir}/tmp.
+
+We launch the functional tests with ACTCampaignEngine.py. This script launch every test present in the PfwTestCase directory. Note that functional tests cannot be launched using directly the script.
+We finalize the environment setting in this script. isAlive and needResync are needed by the subsystem.
+To avoid dependancies between to consecutive test, we remove all the temporary files except XML files at the end of the tests.
+
+#Practical
+By default, the BUILD_TESTING flag is set to true.
+Once the makefile is created, we can launch the test by running :
+
+    'make && make test'
+
+Note that you can also use 'ctest -V' if you want to have the logs details.
