+**FATE** (FFmpeg Automated Testing Environment) is an extended regression testing platform developed by FFmpeg. It operates like a continuous integration platform like [http://jenkins-ci.org/ Jenkins] and [http://hudson-ci.org/ Hudson].
 
 It is splitted in to two parts:
-* On the client side, it involves comparing the output with a reference file, and then compile (not in the programming sense) the results into a report.
-* On the server side, the reports are aggregated from clients, and then displayed on [http://fate.ffmpeg.org]. The server software is hosted on [git://git.ffmpeg.org/fateserver]^[https://github.com/FFmpeg/fateserver GitHub]^.
+* On the client side, it involves building FFmpeg, comparing the output of a specific test with a reference file, and then aggregating the results into a report.

 The current coverage of the FATE test suite, generated by [http://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php lcov], is available at [http://coverage.ffmpeg.org/].
