About LDTP:
Linux Desktop Testing Project is aimed at producing high quality test automation
framework. It uses the "Accessibility" libraries to poke through the
application's user interface. Thanks to Sun and Accessibility team.
Whats new in this release:
* Testing Applications in localized languages using LDTP ('Nagappan'
& 'Premkumar')
The wait is over! Languages are no barriers for testing applications any more!
We are proud to announce the localization support available with this release of
LDTP which no other F/OSS test automation tool has ever provided till date. This
version of LDTP lets you test applications in localized languages. The best part
being not necessary to rewrite scripts for testing applications running in
localized languages. Use existing script, follow the simple steps provided in
the README file (Localization support section) and you have LDTP testing your
application!! The current version of LDTP does not include testing of rendering
of localized strings. Thanks to Karunakar (karunakar@indlinux.org) for helping
us complete this work successfully.
* New component functions:
+ 'sortcolumnindex' and 'sortcolumn' for table/tree-table
objects. ('Shaheed')
+ 'getwindowlist' and 'getcomponentlist'
('Premkumar')
+ 'bindtext', 'getobjectinfo' and
'getobjectproperties' ('Nagappan')
* Major Bug Fixes:
+ Proper error messages have been updated for easy debugging
('Nagappan')
+ 'selectrow' to select row based on number of matchings
('Shaheed')
+ 'doesrowexist' now performs an exact match ('Shaheed')
+ Crasher bug in menu.c relating to menu items has been fixed
('Nagappan')
+ Crasher bug in 'selectcalendardate' API has been fixed
('Premkumar')
* Automation scripts:
+ Evolution 2.5.1 automation scripts for the following scenarios have been
updated. Thanks to Patrick (patrick.gu@sun.com), Haip (harry.lu@sun.com), Nags
(anagappan@novell.com), Premkumar (jpremkumar@novell.com) and Shaheed
