Dogtail UI Harness Status

[ahmad sayed]

Hi Josh,

In this phase of SOC the following updates done to the Dogtail UI Harness project, the status as usual is mix of bad and  good news.

Good news first.
=============
1 - Misc Fix Issues appear while developing the test cases.
2 - a new proposed method to test the reporting, following those steps:
    a. Open a presaved project
    b. create a report.
    c. export the report to HTML file.
    d. compare this HTML with a presaved HTML ref file after doing some filtering to remove the data modified every testcase like date.    
3 - Test cases for adding new customer and vendor using a data driven testcases, the same way could systematically applied to other items in the Business menu.
4 - Test finding new customer and vendor using a data driven testcases, the same way could systematically applied to find other items in the Business menu.
5 - some test cases to test relatively complex  and long scenarios from tutorial like Accounts Recievable and Accounts Payable
6 - More and cleaner comments for the test cases code.

The bad news.
=================
1 - no testcases for preferences dialogs yet only check if the dialog appears properly.
2 - Some limitation on creating the account only Parent-child(2-Levels), can not go deeper than this.
3 - register processed using raw input and keyboard hot keys, dogtail has a limitaion in accessing current register.
4 - In Add new account wizard, selecting multiple categorize does not works properly.
5 - running the whole test suite may takes from 1-1:30 hours. according to my last run.

Some statistics:
Currently we have a wrapper for ~ 40 dialogs and widget.
Number of testcases ~ 50.
Total number of LOC ~ 3000.
