Testing, 1,2,3…

It’s kind of ironic, not to mention ever-so-slightly depressing, that both the ‘rival’ UI testing suites du jour only mention Linux in their acronyms and descriptions, when a key part of the underlying technology on which they depend (the accessibility framework) was largely developed on Solaris boxes in the first place :) Presumably the suites themselves should also run equally happily on said ancestral platform, so it would be nice to see a bit of a mention at least…

    Maybe S doesn’t work as well in acronyms as L?

    Perhaps :) No need to mention either of them, then, I’m sure a ‘free desktop UI test suite’ would hit the mark too…

    Perhaps the naming conventions used in the Java Desktop System played some role.

    Harsh but fair :) (You’ll be pleased to know that the OpenSolaris version of JDS will be losing the ‘Java’ part, at least…)
