The Iris project is meant to be used with your own "target" and tests. A target is basically a pytest plugin invoked by Iris, which will then gather data during the run to present in a web-based interface known as the Iris Control Center.

Iris is available as a PyPI library named moziris. It requires system dependencies that are installed using the bootstrap script from this repo.

Once your system is configured, and the setup instructions have been followed, you can test some of Iris' functionality.

To invoke the "sample" target - which is just a placeholder project for demonstration purposes:

iris sample

To open the Control Center, which is the web-based UI for managing local Iris runs:

iris -k

To verify that the Iris API itself exists, without running tests, this command will move your mouse on screen:

api-test

A complete list of command-line options is available when invoking the -h flag.
