+    """ReFrame is a framework for writing regression tests for HPC systems.
+    The goal of this framework is to abstract away the complexity of the
+    interactions with the system, separating the logic of a regression test
+    from the low-level details, which pertain to the system configuration and
+    setup. This allows users to write easily portable regression tests,
+    focusing only on the functionality."""
