Adding support for submitting our test results to a dashboard is simple. We
already defined a number of tests for our project in
:ref:`Testing Support <Tutorial Testing Support>`. Now we just have to run
those tests and submit them to a dashboard. To include support for dashboards
we include the :module:`CTest` module in our top-level ``CMakeLists.txt``.

Display our CTest results with CDash.
The :module:`CTest` module will automatically call ``enable_testing()``, so we
can remove it from our CMake files.

Getting Started
---------------
For this exercise, complete ``TODO 1`` in the top-level ``CMakeLists.txt`` by
including the :module:`CTest` module. This will enable testing with CTest as
well as dashboard submissions to CDash, so we can safely remove the call to
:command:`enable_testing`.
We will also need to acquire a ``CTestConfig.cmake`` file to be placed in the
top-level directory where we can specify information to CTest about the
project. It contains:
