It’s common sense that SW testing is necessary but (there is always a “but”), developers hate to do it.
Facing this problem, I developed a python script to test Carman users interaction, or, to test the UI from user point-of-view. Using XAutomation is possible to test Maemo applications running in Nokia devices natively.
Since I have to do a lot of measurements (for my Master’s tests), collecting data from graphical applications execution, I developed two python scripts to test Canola and Browser. They are open source, feel free to use it and/or suggest something.
- Canola test script
- Browser test script
I’ve used this xautomation Debian package compiled for ARM.

Since three weeks ago, I’m using a Macbook Pro, version 5. First, I tried to develop native Linux applications using VMWare Fusion, even the performance and speed are good, I wanted more and installed Ubuntu Jaunty using Bootcamp to make the partitioning.
There are a lot of tutorials and howto’s that explain how to install ubuntu on a macbook (intel, or just mactel). I followed this one.
After Jaunty installation, I noticed that screen was not well adjusted: the brightness was different from OSX setting. Another difference is the keyboard backlight. Screen brightness and keyboard backlight can be configured, after the nvidia driver installation (see this link). To summarize, I just used these two commands:
Screen brightness:
echo <VALUE> | sudo tee -a /sys/class/backlight/mbp_backlight/brightness
where
can be 0 – 15.
Keyboard backlight:
echo <VALUE> | sudo tee -a /sys/class/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
where
can be 0 – 300.
