schestowitz                                                <p>At KDE we have multiple levels of quality assurance ranging from various degrees of a humans testing features to fully automated testing. Indeed automated testing is incredibly important for the continued quality of our software. A big corner stone of our testing strategy are so called unit tests, they test a specific piece of our software for its behavior in isolation. But for many aspects of our Dec 15 10:49
schestowitzsoftware we need a much higher level view, testing pieces of Plasma’s application launcher in isolation is all good and well but that won’t tell us if the entire UI can be easily navigated using the keyboard. For this type of test we require a different testing approach altogether. A couple months ago I’ve set set out to create a testing framework for this use case and I’m glad to say that it has matured enough to be used for writing tests. Dec 15 10:49
schestowitzI’d like to walk you through the technical building blocks and a simple example.</p>Dec 15 10:49

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Dec 15 11:12
schestowitz                                        <p>This device serves two purposes: it lets the resident gain entry to the building without needing a key and it lets the resident give access to visitors when they aren’t home. It listens for a pattern of noise created by the visitor pressing and releasing the “talk” button on the intercom. When they press that button, audible noise comes through—even when nobody is speaking. In this case, it listens Dec 15 11:12
schestowitzfor noise above a threshold (the button pressed) for one second, no noise (button released) for one second, and then noise again for another second. If it hears that pattern, it uses a servo to press the door unlock button on the intercom.</p>Dec 15 11:12

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Dec 15 11:17
schestowitz                                        <p>IDN works by having apps convert the Unicode name into the ASCII based punycode version under the hood, and then use that with DNS etc. The puny code version of “räksmörgås.se” becomes “xn--rksmrgs-5wao1o.se“. A pretty clever solution really.</p>Dec 15 11:17

schestowitz                                        <p>Going from the simple color managed PDF generator discussed in the previous blog post into something more useful requires getting practical. So here is a screenshot of a "print ready" PDF document I generated with the code showing a typical layout you'd use for a softcover book.
