+----------
+.. index:: Simulation, Testing
+
+Simulation is a important regression and development tool for RTEMS. Developers
+use simulation to work on core parts of RTEMS as it provides excellent
+debugging supporting. Simulation run via the RTEMS Tester allows a test to run
+on each core of your testing host machine lower the time to run all tests.

+ RTEMS Tester Simulation
+
+The :ref:`fig-tester-simulation` figure shows the structure of RTEMS Testing
+using simulation. The executables are built and the ``rtems-test`` command is
+run from the top of the build directory. The RTEMS Tester executes the
+BSP specific simulator for each test capturing the output
