As mentioned in Chapter 1, TAP was created within the Perl community and is thus used by many Perl programmers as default output format for their tests. However TAP was later ported for PHP, Python, C, C++, Shell, Ruby, Java, Lua, among other programming languages.

The Jenkins TestLink Plug-in is a consumer of TAP Streams. This plug-in executes automated tests integrated with TestLink and reads the test results (files with TAP Streams) and uploads test results back to TestLink.
