+# ATF Script Runner
+
+* Proposal: [SDL-NNNN](NNNN-atf-script-runner.md)
+* Author: [Dmytro Boltovskyi](https://github.com/dboltovskyi)
+* Status: **Awaiting review**
+* Impacted Platforms: [ATF]
+
+## Introduction
+
+Originally ATF was developed for SDL developers and thats why it lacks a few features of modern Test Frameworks
+(Java jUnit, Python Nose, etc.)
+
+The purpose of this proposal is to develop extended script runner as part of ATF functionality.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Currently ATF is unable to:
+
+  - run multiple test scripts
+  - run test script in parallel
+  - create test reports in standard format
+
+## Proposed solution
+
+Develop script runner with the following features:
+
+  - Ability to run single test script
+  - Ability to run batch of test scripts
+  - Ability to run test set
+  - Possibility to run scripts in parallel
+  - Ability to create reports in standard format with logs collected
+
+## Potential downsides
+
+Existing CI jobs needs to be reconfigured in order to use new script runner.
+
+## Impact on existing code
+
+No impact on existing code is observed.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+Use one of the existing test runners, e.g. Python Nose, PyTest etc.
