Create an initial Test Suite for Salasaga

Registered by Justin Clift

Salasaga needs a Test Suite for it, to ensure we have good quality releases.

There have already been occasions where new features have been added and accidentally broken something important, only to be discovered when a user reports it. :(

Whiteboard

Still need to determine which framework to use. GUI's seem to have less choices than command line tools though, so may not be so hard.

Awesome. Looks like glib 2.16 and gtk 2.16 have recently introduced fairly in depth testing related functions:

  http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.16/gtk-Testing.html

This should really help.

Noticed a mention of "Dogtail" as a GUI testing tool. Sounds like it's worth investigating:

Another potential one is LDTP:

Started by listing out manual tests to do:

We'll expand this out over time, and also figure out a way to automate the testing too hopefully.
