Wrap up the project |
Work so far The novelty of the project in terms of API usage, resources available et al, the project probably consumed a little more of my time in grasping the components than I anticipated. However, the good news is that I was by the end able to put together few resources, which I hope will be good tutorials for devs willing to join our QA team. Navigating the UI by ipython , Behave, Setting up gnome-continuous. I intend to write more of these along with continuing to work with QA even after SoC 
The code I wrote can be found here - gnome-weather , Evince.
