Annoucement: Racetrack 1.0 repository
Hello all, Racetrack http://racetrackqa.com/ is a designed to store and display the results of automated tests. At VMware http://vmware.com/, over 2,000,000 test results have been stored in Racetrack Repository. Over 25 different teams use the repository to report results. It has a very simple data model, just three basic tables. ResultSet (stores information about a set of tests (Product, Build, etc.) Result, which stores information about the testcase itself, and ResultDetail, which stores the details of each verification performed within the test. ResultDetails also include screenshots and log files, make it easy for the triage engineer to determine the cause of the failure. We are very excited to offer Racetrack to the publichttps://launchpad.net/racetrackas an Open Source project. It offers complete visibility on test results to the organization, much more than Pass/Fail. QA Engineers, Developers, QA Managers, Project Managers all find it useful to quickly see the results of Basic Acceptance Tests, available within an hour of the build completing. Racetrack Triage Report makes it easy to see the number of defects found by a set of tests, and the number of failures caused by Product Changes, and Script failures. By adding a reference to your Bugzilla and Build systems, you can easily provide links directly from Racetrack to a defect or a build information page. The Web Services API is already part of the package, and SilkTest and Java APIs will be added shortly.

Linux Desktop Testing Project is aimed at producing high quality test
automation framework and cutting-edge tools that can be used to test
Linux Desktop and improve it. It uses the Accessibility libraries to
poke through the application's user interface. The framework also has
tools to record test-cases based on user events in the interface of the
application which is under testing. We strive to help in building a
quality desktop.
Whats new in this release...
+ Recording using LDTP
This new version of LDTP features a recorder tool which would help in
generating automation scripts automatically by recording user events.
This would greatly reduce the time required for creating and maintaining
automation scripts. Thanks to Venkateswaran ('whacko'), Harishankaran
('sp2hari') and Theyagarajan ('Taggy') for making this happen. For more
information on this please refer to
http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/wiki/RecordHOWTO
+ Integration with Tinderbox - LDTP has been integrated with the GNOME
jhbuild. Using this feature one can execute test scripts automatically
at the end of successful
completion of package building using jhbuild. This was done as part of
Google SoC. Thanks to Prashanth Mohan ('Casanova') again for his
wonderful contribution.

+ We are very pleased with the ongoing work on porting LDTP to ARM
platform by people from Palm Source, China. One of their latest
contribution has led to an Object Oriented LDTP approach. It still under
development but you can have a taste of this new recipe by following
this link http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/wiki/Object_2oriented_20LDTP
+ With Google SoC in full steam, we are awaiting more breakthroughs by
our LDTP team pabe downloaded from the

LDTP 0.2.1 released
About LDTP:
Linux Desktop Testing Project is aimed at producing high quality test
automation framework. It uses the Accessibility libraries to poke through the
application's user interface. Thanks to Sun and Accessibility team.
Whats new in this release:
* Testing Applications in localized languages using LDTP ('Nagappan'
'Premkumar')
The wait is over! Languages are no barriers for testing applications any
more! We are proud to announce the localization support available with this
release of LDTP which no other F/OSS test automation tool has ever provided
till date. This version of LDTP lets you test applications in localized
languages. The best part being not necessary to rewrite scripts for testing
applications running in localized languages. Use existing script, follow the
simple steps provided in the README file (Localization support section) and you
have LDTP testing your application!! The current version of LDTP does not
include testing of rendering of localized strings. Thanks to Karunakar ([EMAIL
PROTECTED]) for helping us complete this work successfully.
* New component functions:
+ 'sortcolumnindex' and 'sortcolumn' for table/tree-table objects.
('Shaheed')
+ 'getwindowlist' and 'getcomponentlist' ('Premkumar')
+ 'bindtext', 'getobjectinfo' and 'getobjectproperties' ('Nagappan')
* Major Bug Fixes:
+ Proper error messages have been updated for easy debugging ('Nagappan')
+ 'selectrow' to select row based on number of matchings ('Shaheed')
+ 'doesrowexist' now performs an exact match ('Shaheed')
+ Crasher bug in menu.c relating to menu items has been fixed ('Nagappan')
+ Crasher bug in 'selectcalendardate' API has been fixed ('Premkumar')
* Automation scripts:
+ Evolution 2.5.1 automation scripts for the following scenarios have been
updated. Thanks to Patrick ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), Haip ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), Nags
([EMAIL PROTECTED]), Premkumar ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Shaheed ([EMAIL
PROTECTED]) for their wonderful contribution.
