My company is in the process of developing applications that are based on
X11R3. Testing interactive applications is challenging enough, but adding
the complexity of X11 and widgets that we developed ourselves, increases
the likelihood of not catching a bug during unit and system test.

I am looking for a way to improve test coverage and a better model
for testing our user interface. I would also like  recommendations
on the best way to select an alternate data stream for the keyboard and 
mouse, so that application i/o can be emulated.

Also, it is my understanding that there is an X Testing Consortium that
is putting together test and verification suites. Is there anyone 
familiar with this activity and are there any PD test suites available?

Please post or E-Mail any revelant information or sources related to
Xlib, X toolkit, or user interface testing. Information regarding testing
strategies would also be appreciated.

Thanks,

John Amason
