 As part of the [[Open Lighting Project]] we've developed a suite of tests for [[RDM]] responders. This enables manufacturers to check how well a RDM device conforms to the E1.20 specification. The tests cases are written in Python, and use the [[OLA| Open Lighting Architecture]] to communicate with devices.

 == Running the Tests ==
 The tests can be run from either the [[Running the tests|command line]] or a [[Using the RDM Test UI|web browser]]. If you're new to using the command line we suggest you use the Web UI. It can do everything the command line tests can do.
