Hi Rakesh,
    Can you please update the following info in FSUG project page ?

-----
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).

We encourage you to join the project and help us to create robust, 
reliable and stable test tool/framework for Linux Desktops.
-----

BTW, This tool is being integrated with GNOME 2.12 build system by GNOME 
community and this week there is a plan in Mozilla community to use LDTP 
as default GUI testing tool for Mozilla suite. FYI.

Thanks
Nagappan
