+How to use the test API
+
+1. DEFINE TEST: Create a callback function for the test using the AST_TEST_DEFINE macro.
+
+AST_TEST_DEFINE(sample_test_cb,  \\<--- The first argument is the name of the callback function
+{                                \\<--- The second argument is the functions body
+	\test code
+	.
+	.
+	.
+	return res ? AST_RESULT_FAIL : AST_RESULT_PASS;
+})
+
+Every callback function is passed a char buffer, errbuf, which allows
+the function to provide an optional short discription of what when wrong
+if the test failed.
+
+2. REGISTER TEST: Register the test using the AST_TEST_REGISTER macro.
+
+
+AST_TEST_REGISTER("sample_test",         \\<--- Test's Name
+                  "main/test",           \\<--- Test's Catagory
+				  "this is sample test", \\<--- Brief summary of test
+				  "Sample test designed for test purposes", \\<--- Verbose discription of test
+				  sample_test_cb);       \\<--- Test callback function defined by AST_TEST_DEFINE
+
+Tests can optionally be unregestered as well by using the AST_TEST_REGISTER macro.
+
+AST_TEST_REGISTER(sample_test_cb); 
+
+3. EXECUTE: Execute and generate test results via CLI commands
+
+'test show registered all' will show every registered test.
+'test execute all' will execute every registered test.
+'test show results all' will show detailed results for ever executed test
