Re: A preview of coming attractions

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Just wanted to follow-up and give everyone a peek at what drove this. 
Remember, this was primarily an exercise into my thoughts on automating 
a gui, but I am quite pleased with the outcome. The only way to go from 
here is up:


bzr branch lp:~nskaggs/+junk/perfuncted
https://code.launchpad.net/~nskaggs/+junk/perfuncted 



You should be able to recreate, but it would be good for you to know a 
little python (only a little is needed, after all I wrote it!) at this 
point. Check out the README and fire away. Cheers,


Nicholas

This is an example of where we are heading in QA; we want to focus our 
manual testing efforts on where we as humans can dedicate our best 
efforts, and automate the pieces that are of a more trivial nature. 
The pieces are converging, and as ever we will need everyone's help to

Awesome!

Good job indeed!

Nicholas:

Looks very nice. I can not wait to get my new laptop and be able to get
some skin in the game with QA again.

Video is great Nick. You should check out xpresser.com for another easy 
way to perform installer tests through user type interaction. It also 
supports appearance checks so how the desktop looks can be as easily 
tested as how well it installs!

A preview of coming attractions

This is an example of where we are heading in QA; we want to focus our 
manual testing efforts on where we as humans can dedicate our best 
efforts, and automate the pieces that are of a more trivial nature. The 
pieces are converging, and as ever we will need everyone's help to
