Gnome/LDTP[1] (Linux Desktop Testing Project) seem to be doing this set of things for Gnome (and other desktops) the evince test suite includes automatic UI tests as well. ----Advantages---- We can do a set of basic tests that simulate a user working with Sugar basically doing the "Smoke Test" stuff automatically. Having a fully working test suite that can not test those few parts will also be a good motivation/idea to replace them. ----Required---- As a starter i would need some kind of test framework that starts up Sugar in a virtual X server (i.e. something like xvfb), wait for Sugar to start up (for most of the tests - maybe some might try to crash it by activating things while the UI is still is loading) and run a single test (each test will start fresh).Which can be achieved by trying to reuse Mago[2]. And looking at the [3] we can also try to do some thing with xvfg.LDTP can be used to test the functionality of an accessibility enabled application. As sugar is build on top of the Gnome libraries, the AIUI, the Gnome libraries already take care of that. ----My FOSS expirence---- I have been a Fedora Ambassador[4] since a long time enjoying the open source world. I basically do stuff with python and pygtk(though in process of reading), recently i have made a control panel extension for sugar i.e font panel which codes be found at [5]. The detailed documentation of its making can be found [6]. I also have worked with web framework before i.e Rubyonrails. I would like someone to mentor me on this idea, and would love to hear up from mentors and developers.
