 # BIMTester
-### Packages to be installed
-+ behave
-+ pystache
-+ ifcopenshell
 
+BIMTester lets you specify a set of exchange requirements, and automatically check whether or not BIM data, typically an
+IFC file, complies with the requirements. You can run it automatically from a server, integrate it to your own
+application, or use a GUI. It can generate reports in various formats including:
+
+ * HTML
+ * JSON
+ * XUnit
+ * BCF
+ * Zoom Smart View
+
+Your exchange requirements are written in plain language which you can use to communicate to project teams and include
+in contracts. Multiple languages are supported. A series of exchange requirement templates are provided to get started,
+but you can, and are encouraged to, write your own tailored to your project. An example of a requirement looks like
+this:
 
-### Start bimtester Gui from a shell
 ```
-python3 ./bimtester.py -g
+Feature: Project setup
+
+In order to view the BIM data
+As any interested stakeholder
+We need an IFC file
+
+Scenario: Receiving a file
+ * IFC data must use the IFC4 schema
 ```
 
-### Create a binary out of the Python package
+Languages supported include (in alphabetical order):
-+ The commands needs to be updated
-+ Unix:
-`$ pyinstaller --onefile --clean --icon=icon.ico --add-data "features:features" bimtester.py`
-+ Windows:
- `$ pyinstaller --onefile --clean --icon=icon.ico --add-data "features;features" bimtester.py`
 
+ * Dutch
+ * English
+ * French
+ * German
+ * Italian
+
+If you are not a developer, we highly recommend simply installing an integrated version of BIMTester.
+
+ * If you use Blender, install the [BlenderBIM Add-on](https://blenderbim.org)
+ * If you use FreeCAD, install the [FreeCAD BIMTester Workbench](https://github.com/bimtester/bimtesterfc)
+
+If you are a developer, read on!
+
+## Installation
+
+The following packages are required for BIMTester to function:
+
+ * behave
+ * pystache
+ * ifcopenshell
+ * PySide2 (optional: needed for GUI)
+
+The repository does not contain translation files. You can generate them as shown.
 
-### Translation files
-+ the binary mo translation files are not part of the repo
-+ they might be needed to be recreated
-+ use the following commands on Linux
 ```
-cd YourIfcopenshellRepository/src/ifcbimtester/bimtester/locale
+cd IfcOpenShell/src/ifcbimtester/bimtester/locale
 pybabel compile -d .
+```
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+BIMTester has a command line application. Check it out:
 
 ```
+$ python cli.py -h
+usage: cli.py [-h] [-a ACTION] [--advanced-arguments ADVANCED_ARGUMENTS] [-c]
+              -f FEATURE -i IFC [-p PATH] [-r REPORT] [--lang LANG]
+
+Runs unit tests for BIM data
+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  -a ACTION, --action ACTION
+                        Action to perform, from run/purge
+  --advanced-arguments ADVANCED_ARGUMENTS
+                        Specify arguments to Behave
+  -c, --console         Show results in the console
+  -f FEATURE, --feature FEATURE
+                        Specify a feature file to test
+  -i IFC, --ifc IFC     Specify a ifc file
+  -p PATH, --path PATH  Define a path for use in tests
+  -r REPORT, --report REPORT
+                        Specify an output file for a HTML report
+  --lang LANG           Specify a language
+```
+
+You can turn it into a regular command by symlinking it to your bin folder.
+
+```
+$ ln -s /path/to/IfcOpenShell/src/ifcbimtester/cli.py /usr/local/bin/bimtester
+$ bimtester -h
+```
+
+To run a test, we need an IFC to check and a feature file filled with requirements. The feature file is plaintext. Feel
+free to copy the minimal example above.
+
+```
+# To see output in the console
+$ bimtester -i test.ifc -f test.feature -c
+# Or, if you want to generate a HTML report
+$ bimtester -i test.ifc -f test.feature -r report.html
+```
+
+```
+python ./gui.py
+```
+
+## Create a binary out of the Python package
+
+TODO: Check if this works
+
+Unix:
+
+```
+$ pyinstaller --onefile --clean --icon=icon.ico --add-data "features:features" bimtester.py
+```
+
+Windows:
+
+```
+$ pyinstaller --onefile --clean --icon=icon.ico --add-data "features;features" bimtester.py
+```
