 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-Test Catalyst Applications.
+This module allows you to make requests to a Catalyst application either without
+a server, by simulating the environment of an HTTP request using
+L<HTTP::Request::AsCGI> or remotely if you define the CATALYST_SERVER
+environment variable.
+
+The </get> and </request> functions take either a URI or an L<HTTP::Request>
+object.
