Scratch page for LDTP deployment in Ubuntu. == Available tests ==

 * [/OpenAllApplications]. It tries to open every application in Ubuntu after a clean installation to check for crashes in an early stage.
 * [/UpdateSystem]. Set of test cases related to the Update Manager application.
 * [/GeditChains]. It opens gedit text editor and saves several strings comparing them to some available oracles.

== Testing Package ==

The python package 'ubuntutesting' 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.

 * Link to the latest python documentation of the module: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ara/ldtp/doc/testing_module_doc/
 * [/HowToUseTestingLibrary]
 * [/HowToExtendTestingLibrary]
 * [/TestingPackageDocumentation] - Please add anything that would be nice to have here.

== 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.

=== Desktop Testing Library ===

There are PPA packages for Intrepid. To install the library:

 1. Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/source.lists:

{{{
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/apulido/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/apulido/ubuntu intrepid main
}}}

 1.#2 $ sudo apt-get update
 1. $ sudo apt-get install desktop-testing-library

=== Ubuntu Desktop Tests ===

There are PPA packages for Intrepid. To install the tests:

 1. Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/source.lists:

{{{

 1.#2 $ sudo apt-get update
 1. $ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop-tests

== Integration with Checkbox ==

 * [/IntegrationCheckbox] - Progress on running LDTP tests (and provide reports) with checkbox (https://launchpad.net/checkbox).
Line 6: Line 59:
 1. Run existing Evolution LDTP tests in the hw-test harness
