Aim :

• To develop an automated testing suite for Anjuta and its plugins
• To develop a generic plugin testing framework , so that new plugins can be added to the testing suite easily.

Language,packages,features to be used/known

• LDTP - Linux Desktop Testing project
• Python - ( the LDTP has a python based API )
• General Understanding of GTK based application works
• Accessibility - The LDTP framework uses Accessibilty to generate UI events

Deliverables :

• A complete automated testing suite for anjuta. This may include tests for all the ways in which an user might use anjuta . This suite also should attempt for accomodating the changes in anjuta later.
• To work around with LDTP editor and modify it so that all new developers for anjuta can create new tests for their plugins/features is to record the events and not write a single line of code
• To take the standard features of Anjuta and to implement a regression testing module

Additional Deliverables :

• To develop a code coverage plugin using gcov and similar profiler tools
• To write general classes for testing dialogs ,menus and widgets that can be extended to any application later.

Sample code :

( The following ia a working LDTP code : Though this does nothing but opens a new document , saves it as random.c and quit anjuta. To test it you might have to install LDTP ! Any problems , you can mail me)

• Get the tar.gz file here and after installing LDTP , the sample can be run as ldtprunner run.xml from the shell
