Hi,
After a brief hack, I have produced an ultra nasty start to a Gtk
GUI regression testing tool. It turns out that a tool of this sort is
vital to provide a level of validation good enough for many software
houses.
Anyhow, it is based on a bastardized version of Owen's lovely
memprof tool, and works in an extremely rudimentary fashion.
Source can be found at:
http://www.gnome.org/~micahel/testtool.tar.gz
The widget naming heuristics need drasticaly improving, an XML
test serialization module needs adding, the methodology needs solidifying
extremely seriously, and all in all it is a useless toy thing that I am
unhappy with.
However, I would appreciate feedback before I go massively wrong,
or create a scheme that will not work. With LD_PRELOAD it would be
possible to instrument a far greater API chunk.
Any comments much appreciated,
Regards,
Michael.
