Hi Li Zhou,
My name is Jeremiah Foster and I help Henrik (hesa) maintain the Xnee
tool suite. Here in Sweden, where we both live, it is the Christmas
season - a big holiday. I think Henrik will be hard to reach the next
two weeks, he has had a busy year and is most likely going to take some
time off. But he will definitely answer your email, just give him a
little more time than normal.
Best regards,
Jeremiah

Subject: [Info-xnee] Fwd: How to use Xnee to perform the auto
GUI test forgtk+ based phone applications?
Hello all:
We are making contributions to LiPS ( http://www.lipsforum.org
<http://www.lipsforum.org/> ) and developing some software and
applications to implement the LiPS Specifications. Some software have
been done. To ensure the quality of those software and save resources,
we want to use some open source tools to perform the auto GUI test for
some gtk+ based phone applications like address book, voice call. Xnee
is a good candidate. And yes, it is indeed. But after some
investigation, we find that Xnee can't help to determine the correctness
of the test result except the recording and replaying. So we have no
choice but turn to your help whether we can find a solution to achieve
this.
To explain our requirements clearly, here is a example of the
"contact search" for address book application . For example, in the
search interface of Address book, when typing 'j' through phone keypad
, the matched contacts starting with 'j' will be listed in alphabet
order. we name the matched contacts as the expected results.
Our current status is: test specification is ready and we can
perform the recording and replaying correctly with Xnee. The scenario we
image is like below:
(1). tester or developer perform the test manually according to
the test specification to obtain the test script which just record the
EVENT sequence, that is the 'recording' process.
(2). For the regression test, the test will be perform the test
automatically without tester's intervention.
The current Xnee release can't meet the requirement of step (2).
After reading the Xnee manual, maybe the 'synchronism mechanism in Xnee"
is helpful. As the synchronism mechanism, it records more DATA than just
the EVENT to be replayed. Based on this mechanism, we think that can we
also introduce this mechanism to step (1) to record the test results as
the DATA field in the script file. (for each test case in our test
specifications, the results/outputs will be specified for the given
inputs. this is the base of our idea.) During the replaying process,
just comparing the DATA field with those DATA from recording process
Xnee will determine the correctness automatically. Because the DATA
output will be same for each test case ideally.
You are the exact expert, would you be so kind to help us out on
the feasibility and implementation. If necessary, we can make a
conf-call with you.
Many thanks and looking forward to your help....
Best Regards,
