Available tests

  • [/OpenAllApplications]. It tries to open every application in Ubuntu after a clean installation to check for crashes in an early stage.

  • [/UpdateSystem]. It opens the update-manager, checks for updates and install them in case there is any.

  • [/GeditChains]. It opens gedit text editor and saves several strings comparing them to some ready oracles.

Testing Package

The python package 'testing' will contain classes and modules to make the writing of new tests easier to the community. Also it will separate the things that need to be maintain, from the test cases themselves.

PPA packages

LDTP

If you need to run the tests in Hardy you can use the packages available at https://launchpad.net/~apulido/+archive that contains the latest upstream version of LDTP. Intrepid universe packages are already sync with this upstream version, nevertheless, if you want to run the Gedit UTF-8 test, you will need the PPA version.
