LDTP (Linux Desktop Testing Project)[1] is an automated test framework which uses the Accessibility libraries of GNOME. Python bindings are provided in order to create test scripts for GNOME/OpenOffice.org/Java Swing/Mozilla applications.
jhbuild[2] is an automated build script for building Gnome from source. jhbuild also takes care of the dependency issues involved in building the software. What jhbuild lacked however was support for automated test frameworks[3]. I have added generic support for test frameworks in jhbuild. Execution and reporting of LDTP scripts has been completely integrated into jhbuild. jhautobuild[4] and tinderbox also show the results of the LDTP tests[5]
In addition to the jhbuild enhancements, I have also written a regression suite[6]for LDTP, automation scripts for Evolution 2.6[7] and gnome-dictionary[8]. In the process I have also added a number of bug fixes[9] to LDTP's existing framework.
