The GNU/Linux Desktop (GUI Application) Testing Project (GNU LDTP) aims to produce a high quality test automation framework with cutting-edge tools that can be used to test and improve the GNU/Linux or Solaris desktops. It uses the Accessibility libraries to discover through the application's user interface. The framework also has tools to record test-cases based on user actions in an application.

GNU LDTP is a GNU/Linux / Unix GUI application testing tool. It runs on GNU/Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD and Embedded environments (Palm source).

The GNU LDTP core framework uses Appmap and the recorded test-cases to test an application and then gives the status of each test-case as output. As of now, GNU LDTP can test any GNOME-based GUI applications, which are accessibility-enabled, Mozilla, Openoffice.org, any Java application (should have a UI based on swing) and KDE 4.0 applications based on QT 4.0 (based on the press releases by KDE).

We encourage you to join the project and help us to create a robust, reliable and stable test tool/framework for Unix Desktops. Thanks to GNOME Accessibility team and Sun Microsystems Accessibility team for their great work and their continuous support.
