IMHO, nobody has maintained the testtool scripts in Libreoffice and nobody ran them for LO-3.4. They probably can't even be started, see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37566 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37059 LibreOffice developers prefer to write unit tests that are proceed during compilation. Stefan Bergman has recently enabled subsequent test[1] that need the installed LO. They could be written in Java and C++. I guess that they are supposed to replace the problematic testtool. I wonder if you could write the Base test this way as well. > :-) Noel is prolly a good contact there. IFAIK, Noel tried to fix the two above mentioned bugs. Then he put it aside as nobody was really interested into it. IMHO, it does not make sense to have working testtool if nobody maintains the test scripts. Debugging the testtool scripts is time consuming and a kind of nightmare. This is why developers prefer the unit and subsequent tests. > I (for one) was hoping that with openQA we could do a similar level of > UI testing, but based on what actually shows up rendered on the screen > (OCR'd) and that this might be more robust, and provide a fresh start > here that doesn't have testtool's problems. Yi Fan did some investigation. It seems that openQA does not support any OCR. It probably just compares md5-sums of screenshot of the whole screen. I am afraid that this approach is not usable for LO because it is hard to maintain. Any different pixel will invalidate the test.
