Sep 14 16:33:22 nags guys meeting time !!!

Sep 14 16:33:57 nags just copying from today's agenda...

Sep 14 16:34:00 nags 1. Updates about Shaheed's new LDTP editor

Sep 14 16:34:01 nags 2. New recording code

Sep 14 16:34:01 nags 3. List of LDTP known issues (Prem has identified with respect to LDTP). He will be sharing with us

Sep 14 16:34:01 nags 4. Current state of Prem's new LDTP search algorithm

Sep 14 16:34:15 nags news from my side....

Sep 14 16:34:43 nags We will be soon moving our CVS from forge.novell.com to freedesktop.org

Sep 14 16:35:21 nags wrote a new utility - GNU/Linux Desktop Automation Project

Sep 14 16:35:58 nags which reads the list of scripts to be executed from XML file... XML file can be generated using shaheed editor

Sep 14 16:36:18 nags we can also have the same script with different data file with this new utility

Sep 14 16:36:25 shaheed hi all

Sep 14 16:36:33 shaheed i have completed the implementation of generating xml file based on the scripts & xml data files selected as groups

Sep 14 16:36:43 nags also planed to have data file in XML format... shaheed editor will support that

Sep 14 16:36:55 shaheed also i have completed the implementation of generating data xml file, which is basically what i have mentioned above

Sep 14 16:37:07 shaheed nags, that is done

Sep 14 16:37:10 nags got one more good news from kaveri that they are now looking LDTP in main stream for Solaris platform

Sep 14 16:38:10 shaheed nags, ya sure will send

Sep 14 16:38:22 nags I have started new recording code based on at-spi example

Sep 14 16:41:53 prem About the list of issues in LDTP, I have consolidated certain issues most of them focussing evolution automation

Sep 14 16:42:33 prem As part of that, I have written six new APIs and fixed three bugs in the component functions

Sep 14 16:43:12 prem For most of the design issues that i faced, my new implementation has the answer for them

Sep 14 16:43:51 nags cool

Sep 14 16:43:52 prem I think we can take up full fledged automation of evolution sanity

Sep 14 16:44:02 nags prem: cool :)

Sep 14 16:44:06 prem hopefully we will face little issues

Sep 14 16:44:07 prem :)

Sep 14 16:44:21 nags kaveri: do you suggest some api's that are missing for automation ?

Sep 14 16:44:21 prem and not any major issues

Sep 14 16:44:31 nags prem: thats a great news !!

Sep 14 16:44:59 nags prem: maybe you could share your exp of ldtp issues when automating evolution through ldtp-dev mailing list ?

Sep 14 16:45:30 prem nags: sure

Sep 14 16:45:40 nags prem: nice work :)
