I wanted to announce that a new open source project called "wayland-fits" is now available on 01.org <https://01.org/wayland>.
The Wayland Functional Integration Test Suite (wayland-fits) is a fully automated test suite. Its purpose is to validate the functionality and integration between Wayland client software and Wayland server software. It provides a test framework and test suites for multiple Wayland-enabled toolkits and the Wayland core. The test framework allows tests to emit input events from the bottom of the software stack. That is, [input system]->server->client->toolkit->test-app. This enables full input pipeline validation. It also includes its own Wayland test protocol that enables tests to cross-validate client and server states. Currently there are tests for Wayland Core and Wayland EFL. And just recently, I have started adding tests for Wayland Gtk+ (I'm already finding several trivial bugs). There are plans to start adding tests for Wayland Clutter and Wayland Qt, too. Also, a server-side implementation of the wayland-fits protocol is essential for every test to execute. Right now, there is only an implementation for Weston included that supports drm, x11, and headless backends (caution: the headless backend will only run the software/shm based tests). It's absolutely plausible, however, that there will be implementations for other Wayland compositors that have a plugin architecture, too. I am currently the maintainer of this project with contributions coming in from one or two other people on occasion. I would be oh-so-grateful to have more contributors from the enthusiastic Wayland community. So start sending your patches! I only develop and test on Intel hardware and Fedora... so if there are issues on other hardware/OS flavors, feel free to submit fixes; tested, of course ;-). There is still a lot of Wayland functionality that is not tested by this suite and design decisions that could be made...and I could use as much help as I can get. If nothing else, I hope it's a useful test suite for those that use it. It has already detected many regressions and bugs. The source repository is on github at: <https://github.com/01org/wayland-fits> There is more information in the README about contributing, building, running, etc... Also, we can start using the wiki in the github project to share more info (and such) as needed. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line. I generally hang out in the #wayland and #wayland-efl IRC channels on freenode as some of you already know (nick: uartie). I am travelling this week so expect a delayed response. Oh, and P.S. the project is written in C++ ;-) ---- U.
