  1. Roman Parparov, Bolet Consulting Computer Working By Itself, Beautiful, Isn't It?

  2. Why? • To test your GUI (and WUI) • To import the data • To make a movie/demo

  3. The Tools • X11::GUITest • X11::GUITest::record • X11::protocol • X11 utilities • XTest extension enabled.

  4. Testing Application • Complete layout control • Debug Mode for your widgets • Log output and catch it • Use cut-and-paste

  5. Testing WUI • Partial layout control • Gtk/Gdk diagnostic tools • Parse the source! • Cut and paste again

  6. Importing Data • Try to determine the toolkit! • X11 basic utilities: • xwininfo • xlsatoms • xprop • xset q • xdpyinfo

  7. Importing Data (II) • Try attaching a query agent • X11::Protocol – low level access • Reverse engineering... • X11::GUITest::record • xev (ugh) • Application rip

  8. Making a Movie/Demo • Run the recording session • Using X11::GUITest::record • Using xev • Convert it to X11::GUITest script • Set timings between calls • Optimize trajectories

  9. X11::GUITest Overview • Consistent style and documentation • Launching the Application • StartApp • WaitWindow* • Getting information • GetMousePos • GetWindowFromPoint • GetChildWindows

  10. X11::GUITest Overview (II) • Input functions • *InputFocus • *MouseButton • *Key • SendKeyStroke • Window management • Move/ResizeWindow • Raise/LowerWindow

  11. Caveats • Window manager/Desktop Environment • Window focus/control • Key delays, freezes • Selection buffers • PRIMARY vs. CUT_BUFFERN • Toolkit clipboards

  12. Other Platforms • MS Windows: • Win32::GUITest • OS/X: • X11? • (N)Curses: • No real widgets

  13. Thank You
