Mago - A Desktop Testing Initiative

The Desktop Testing team aims to automate desktop testing through the AT-SPI layer.
This is a new team that we are willing to start, based on some discussions during last GNOME summit (../TestingUsingAtSpi and followed up in several mailing lists and IRC.

Technology

We have set up a project, Mago, built on top of LDTP (http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/), that aims to have a consistent way of writing tests, making them easier to maintain.
