User Interface Testing
From K-3D
Overview
The commodification of streaming video and video-hosting services such as http://www.youtube.com obsoletes much of the value of K-3D's interactive tutorial system. Because the tutorial system imposes a significant cost in terms of UI complexity and lack of flexibility, we'd like to eliminate it outright. However, this would leave us without a system for running regression tests on the user interface.
Fortunately, there are a number of projects that are based around ATK / AT-SPI:
- http://people.redhat.com/zcerza/dogtail/
- http://medsphere.org/community/project/strongwind
- http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/wiki/
- http://live.gnome.org/DesktopTesting
- http://hildon-test-aut.garage.maemo.org/installation.html
because ATK is already a GTK dependency, it would benefit us greatly if we could either adopt one of these packages or create our own ATK-based test framework.
