 %description
-A simple flow based testing framework. testflo was written to support
+This module provides a flow-based testing framework. testflo supports
 testing of the OpenMDAO framework. Some OpenMDAO features require
-execution under MPI while some others don’t, so we wanted a testing
-framework that could run all of our tests in the same way and would
-allow us to build all of our tests using unittest.TestCase objects
-that we were already familiar with.
-
-The MPI testing functionality was originally implemented using the
-nose testing framework. It worked, but was always buggy, and the size
-and complexity of the nose framework made it difficult to know
-exactly what was going on.  Enter testflo, an attempt to build a
-simpler testing framework that would have the basic functionality of
-other test frameworks, with the additional ability to run MPI unit
-tests that are very similar to regular unit tests
+execution under MPI, while others don't. testflo runs all of the
+authors' tests in the same way and allows them to build their tests
+using unittest.TestCase objects that they are familiar with.
