Utopia aims to be a simple IRC framework. It is developed to meet the needs of Notifico, a cia.vc replacement.
Running the tests requires a local install of ngircd, which is a very simple IRC daemon. The test setup and teardown will take care of launching and shutting down ngircd.
The tests are compatible with sniffer, which will run the tests as files
are changed. Just run sniffer from the root of the project.
