[GNUe] Application testing

[Sacha Schlegel]

Hi everyone

Siesel and others were discussing testing of gnue.

One issue was to test user interfaces, in particular graphical user
interfaces.

Not sure if  xnee at:
 
http://www.gnu.org/software/xnee/

might be used for that.

from the website:

Introduction to Xnee
Xnee is a suite of programs that can record, replay and distribute user
actions under the X11 environment. Think of it as a robot that can
imitate the job you just did. Xnee can be used to: 



        Automate tests
        e.g nightly automatic regression
        tests 
        Demonstrate programs
        e.g record and replay a user
        interaction with your system
        Distribute actions
        e.g teacher's actions can be
        sent to all student's desktops
        Record and replay 'macro'
        e.g Tie a key modifier
        combination (e.g using
        xkeymouse) to replay a recorded
        session. The macro is WM- and
        program independent.
        Retype a file
        e.g When testing an editor, Xnee
        can type in the content of a
        file. This can be compared with
        the original and thereby
