KdeEcoTest Enhancement and finalizing of test scripts.

Project Abstract:

This project aims to improve and expand KdeEcoTest, a tool for simulating and automating the activites of a user in order to measure energy consumption of an application while in use.

Deliverables:

• Fixing shift coordination

• Developing comparative energy consumption test scripts of Okular and Adrobe acrobat on linux and windows.

Mentors:

• Emmanuel Charruau @allon:kde.org,
• Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss @joseph:kde.org

Weekly Progress:

Week 1:

• Created the target pdf for detecting shift issue
• Worked on running the KdeEcoTest tool on Emmanuel's repo
• Had my first meeting with mentors dicussing about the Kde community and the different project and collaborations involved in the community.

Week 2:

• Tested KdeEcoTest tool on the target pdf with my mentors

• Identified issues affecting the shift cordination
  • Difference in mouse coordinates when scripts are created and playback
  • Screen position
  • Screen resolution
• Studied the KdeEcoTest tool codebase and asked questions on some functionalites in the tool like
  • Actions.py
  • Creator.py
  • Runner.py

Week 3:

• Installed a c++kwin effect mouse spotlight to track mouse coordinates built by the kwin team
• Presented a KdeECoTestUI prototype to my mentors. This is a buffer to copy from and the final script to past into the text editor kwrite.
