175 If a ``cmd2``-based application is invoked with --test 176 If the entire transcript (input and output) of a successful session of
177 a ``cmd2``-based app is copied from the screen and pasted into a text
178 file, ``transcript.txt``, then a transcript test can be run against it::
179
180 python app.py --test transcript.txt
181
182 Any deviations between the output prescribed in ``transcript.txt`` and
183 the actual output from a fresh run of the application will be reported
184 as a unit test failure.
