 The Swift evolution process covers all design changes, no matter how small, to the Swift language, its standard library, and the core tools necessary to build Swift programs.  This includes additions, removals, and changes to:
+
 - the features of the Swift language,
 - the public interface of the Swift standard library,
-- the configuration of the Swift compiler, and
-- the core tools of the Swift package ecosystem, including the configuration of the [Swift package manager](https://www.swift.org/package-manager/) and the design of its manifest files.

 The design of other tools, such as IDEs, debuggers, and documentation generators, is not covered by the evolution process.  The Core Team may create workgroups to guide and make recommendations about the development of these tools, but the output of those workgroups is not reviewed.

 The [Core Team](https://www.swift.org/community/#core-team) is responsible for the strategic direction of Swift.  The Core Team creates workgroups focused on specific parts of the project.  When the Core Team gives a workgroup authority over part of the evolution of the project, that workgroup is called an evolution workgroup.  Evolution workgroups manage the evolution process for proposals under their authority, working together with other workgroups as needed.
 
-Currently, there is only one evolution workgroup:
+Currently, there are three evolution workgroups:
 
-* The [Language Steering Group][language-steering-group] has authority over the evolution of the Swift language and its standard library.
+* The [Language Steering Group][language-steering-group] has authority over the evolution of the Swift language, its standard library, and any language configuration features of the Swift package manager.
+* The [Platform Steering Group][platform-steering-group] has authority over the evolution of all other features of the Swift package manager and its manifest files.
+* The [Testing Workgroup][testing-workgroup] has authority over the evolution of
+  the Swift Testing and Corelibs XCTest projects.
 
 The Core Team manages (or delegates) the evolution process for proposals outside these areas.  The Core Team also retains the power to override the evolution decisions of workgroups when necessary.
