LDTP is a unique initiative to make Linux Desktops stable and rock solid by running them through rigorous suite of test conditions. At the time of writing this document, some of the prominent features of LDTP include
LDTP concepts are derived from Software Testing Aus tomation Framework
- LDTP supports verification of actions performed (guiexist, verifystate, etc)
- Writing test scripts are very easy, the script writer need not know about the object hierarchy
- CPU / Memory performance monitoring of application-under-test can be measured
From the XML log, we can gather HTML report using XSLT
- Group based execution, which provides precise control on the flow of test-script execution
- User-friendly Test Editor with syntax highlighting for generating and grouping test data
I believe that the goal of another desktop testing framework would be similar to that of LDTP and hence reduntant. I welcome everyone to join hands with the LDTP community and make it the de facto desktop testing framework for *nix platform. LDTP community has made 11 dot releases so far and is active.
