+ctest_start
+-----------
+
+Starts the testing for a given model
+
+::
+
+ ctest_start(Model [TRACK <track>] [APPEND] [source [binary]])
+
+Starts the testing for a given model. The command should be called
+after the binary directory is initialized. If the 'source' and
+'binary' directory are not specified, it reads the
+:variable:`CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY` and :variable:`CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY`.
+If the track is
+specified, the submissions will go to the specified track. If APPEND
+is used, the existing TAG is used rather than creating a new one based
+on the current time stamp.
+
+If the :variable:`CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND` variable
+(or the :variable:`CTEST_CVS_CHECKOUT` variable)
+is set, its content is treated as command-line. The command is
+invoked with the current working directory set to the parent of the source
+directory, even if the source directory already exists. This can be used
+to create the source tree from a version control repository.
