Kurento Media Server is responsible for media transmission, processing, loading and recording. It is implemented in low level technologies based on the GStreamer multimedia toolkit, and provides the following features:
* Networked streaming protocols, including HTTP, RTP and WebRTC.
* Group communications (MCU and SFU functionality) supporting both media mixing and media routing/dispatching.
* Generic support for Computer Vision and Augmented Reality filters (OpenCV).
* Media storage supporting writing operations for WebM and MP4 and playback in all formats supported by GStreamer.
* Automatic media transcoding between any of the codecs supported by GStreamer including VP8, H.264, H.263, AMR, OPUS, Speex, G.711, etc.

## Testing
Kurento has a full set of different tests mainly focused in the integrated and system tests, more specifically e2e tests that anyone can run to assess different parts of Kurento, namely functional, stability, tutorials, and API.
In order to assess properly Kurento from a final user perspective, a rich suite of E2E tests has been designed and implemented. To that aim, the Kurento Testing Framework (KTF) has been created. KTF is a part of the Kurento project aimed to carry out end-to-end (E2E) tests for Kurento. KTF has been implemented on the top of two well-known open-source testing frameworks: JUnit and Selenium.
If you want to know more about the Kurento Testing Framework and how to run all the available tests for Kurento you will find more information in [Kurento developers documentation > Testing](https://doc-kurento.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/testing.html).
