+# TURO (Test Utils Result Output) Test
+
+This shows a non-trival example of how to use the TURO module as a
+testing abstraction layer.
+
+The test is written with only TURO commands allowing the underling output to
+be changed as needed depending on the interpreter. This means that the test
+will not need to be changed if output is changed. If the test results are
+output as json and the binary is too large, the TURO can be switched to CBOR
+to save space. The interpreter should also switch to a CBOR parser and the
+test should not need to be changed.
+
+This should keep tests more stable, which is particularly useful for automated
+tests.
