Hi, LDTP (Linux Desktop Testing Project) hosted in gnomebangalore.org/ldtp About LDTP: *Problem:* In windows domain there are many GUI automation tools, which can recognize the GUI as "objects" and not just with co-ordinates. Unfortunately, Open Source Linux GUI automation tools are not matured up to that level - at least to my knowledge ;) . Without this advancement in the test automation space, it would become difficult to make good progress. *Things that can be leveraged:* There are many tool independent automation frameworks available in the Open Source. One of them which leverages the STAF framework is considered to be more useful. This is hosted in safsdev.sf.net *Our Goal:* We wanted to develop a tool and a framework for test automation, which is context/object sensitive and much more productive than the commercial alternatives. *Where are we now:* We have used the architecture from SAFSDEV and leveraged the accessibility framework in Linux (at-spi APIs). This framework is known as Linux Desktop Testing Project, shortly ldtp. This is application independent, tool-kit independent(GTK, Java (swing), QT 4.0), reusable and efficient. This tool is in its pre-alpha stage. This application works with Mozilla, Firefox, OpenOffice.org, Java based applications, GNOME, KDE (4.0 onwards). We are interested in hosting our project in freedesktop.org. Is this the right list to post project hosting request ? BTW, I have posted this mail to xdg-list@freedesktop.org, but the mail bounced with this info '(550 <xdg-list@freedesktop.org>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table)'. In freedesktop.org main page, this email id is specified. Is this a known issue ? Thanks Nagappan NOTE: I have sent this mail to xdg@lists.freedesktop.org, but I didn't get any response for hosting the project. So, I'm sending the copy of that mail to this list.

I have yet to see STAF used as a "conformance" test suite demonstrating POSIX testing methodology which could be used for certification. Have you looked at VSW5 or VSM4 which uses TET? opengroup.org/testing/testsuites/vsw5.htm opengroup.org/testing/testsuites/vsm4.htm linuxbase.org/download/index.php/test_suites/runtime tetworks.opengroup.org/tet However before desktop conformance testing can begin we need assertions based on a community endorsed Linux GUI Style Guide and a Linux GUI API Standards. :-) w3.pppl.gov/misc/motif/MotifStyleGuide/en_US/TOC.html George (gk4) On Tue, 2005-01-04 at 05:18, Nagappan wrote:> Hi, > LDTP (Linux Desktop Testing Project) hosted in > gnomebangalore.org/ldtp > > About LDTP: > > *Problem:* > In windows domain there are many GUI automation tools, which can > recognize the GUI as "objects" and not just with co-ordinates. > Unfortunately, Open Source Linux GUI automation tools are not matured up > to that level - at least to my knowledge ;) .
