Capacitor tester without arduino / microcontroller

This circuit is a digital Capacitor tester without using arduino or any other microcontroller !!

It can measuring the capacitance of any capacitor from 1nF to 9.9mF

However nowadays any multimeter has capacitor testing feature, but my circuit is an educational project.
