LTDP project has changed its name to GNU/LTDP (GNU/Linux Desktop
Testing Project) and all references on their web site from "Linux OS"
to "GNU/Linux OS". 

S.Thanikachalam has approved A.Nagappan to go ahead with this name
change and stress the importance of Freedom. We should thank both of
them for considering our request.

Here is a short intro to this project:
======================================================================

GNU/Linux Desktop Testing Project  (License GPL/LGPL)
http://gnomebangalore.org/ldtp

GNU/Linux Desktop Testing Project (GNU/LDTP) is aimed at producing
high quality test automation framework and cutting-edge tools that can
be used to test GNU/Linux Desktop and improve it. It uses the
"Accessibility" libraries to poke through the application's user
interface. The framework has tools to generate "AppMap" by reading
through the user interface components of an application. The framework
also has tools to record test-cases based on user-selection on the
application. GNU/LDTP core framework uses "AppMap" and the recorded
"test-cases" to test an application and gives the status of each
test-case as output. 

As of now, GNU/LDTP can test any GNOME application which are
accessibility enabled, Mozilla, OpenOffice.org, any Java application
(should have a UI based on swing) and KDE 4.0 applications based on QT
4.0 (based on the press releases by KDE).
