+r"""Test suite runner module.
+
+A DTS run is split into stages:
+
+    #. Execution stage,
+    #. Build target stage,
+    #. Test suite stage,
+    #. Test case stage.
+
+The module is responsible for running tests on testbeds defined in the test run configuration.
+Each setup or teardown of each stage is recorded in a :class:`~framework.test_result.DTSResult` or
+one of its subclasses. The test case results are also recorded.
+
+If an error occurs, the current stage is aborted, the error is recorded and the run continues in
+the next iteration of the same stage. The return code is the highest `severity` of all
+:class:`~.framework.exception.DTSError`\s.
+
+Example:
+    An error occurs in a build target setup. The current build target is aborted and the run
+    continues with the next build target. If the errored build target was the last one in the given
+    execution, the next execution begins.
+
+Attributes:
+    dts_logger: The logger instance used in this module.
+    result: The top level result used in the module.
