Improving KdeEcoTest's funcionalities and compatibility
Making way for Wayland in KdeEcoTest
Mentors: Emmanuel Charruau and Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss
Project Abstract:
Measuring the energy consumption of KDE software is a vital task in achieving the sustainability goal. This is done by running the software and executing repetitive actions that simulate human use. KdeEcoTest is a tool used for building and testing standard usage scenario scripts which simulate human use. During this season of KDE, I would like to work on improving KdeEcoTest and improve its compatibility.
Deliverables:
- Make KdeEcoTest compatible on Wayland systems.
- Replicate okular test using KdeEcoTest
Progress:
Week 1-2:
- Added a platform abstraction layer which makes it easy to implement platform specific routines. [1].
- Improved kdotool's functionalities so that it could be utilized for KdeEcoTest KWin handlers. [2]
- Added uinput backend for pynput python module (pynput) for controlling and listening for mouse and keyboard events using libevdev [3].
- Added KWin handlers which enables KdeEcoTest to function on KWin compositor (both X11 and Wayland). This has also been merged with the development branch [4].
Week 2-6:
- Testing and Debugging.
- Testing KdeEcoTest on other linux distros and on Kde Neon.
- Documented and Updated the installation guide for KdeEcoTest.
Week 6-10:
- Working on replicating the okular test script using KdeEcoTest (still in progress).
- Testing and Debugging.
