Accerciser is more a debugging tool, useful when you are implementing
accessibility support for some application.

So if you want to use it while improving Libreoffice accessibility
support: yes, it can be useful.

If you want to use it to create a test suite or a regression test suite,
I think that there are other better options.

AFAIK, Libreoffice uses GTK for some stuff, but most of the UI is non-GTK.

In any case, Accerciser doesn't require the application being tested to
use GTK. Accerciser needs the relevant application to expose the
accessibility information through at-spi. For example, if you use
accerciser with Firefox, you could see the content from objects that in
origin are not GTK widgets.

See my previous comment. As I said it depends on your specific needs.
