	2. Simplicity: No programming is required. No Manul to read             (perl -MTest::AutomationFramework -e "install") 
	3. MultiPurpose:  TC scripts, Perf, Lab setup etc  			(Perl, C, C#, java ....... )
	4. User Fridedly: IE-based web UI 					(TC list, reporting, execution are done by *ONE* mouse click )
