+## TestGroup {#TestGroup}
+
+TestGroup is a base class for all test groups. Each test group contains a list
+of test vectors of the same type. The test group describes parameters that are
+common for all the test vectors. Often some parameters are given in multiple
+formats to simplify testing. For example, asymmetric private key are typically
+given in a raw format, PKCS #8 encoded and in PEM format. All fields in a test
+group are corretly formatted. Incorrectly formatted inputs are always in the
+test vectors. The list below describes the fields that are common to all test
+groups, though generally a test group contains additional fields depending on
+the test for which the test vectors are intended for.
