[LDTP-Dev] [gnome-desktop-testing] Call for LDTPv2 testing

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Hi Ara,

Thanks for the inputs.

During our automated testing in VMware we found the following difference
between LDTPv1 and v2:

* getlabel function is deprecated - you can use getobjectproperty('winodw',
'objectname', 'label') # To verify the display text
* Label in v2 doesn't return the accelerator key (eg: in v1 "_Find" will be
returned on v2 just "Find" is returned)
* Strict data types are checked, in v1 most of the inputs are considered as
string, if not they will be converted to string, but on v2 exception will be
thrown, if incorrect type is passed to any function
* In v1 we have ldtp binary, on v2 we need to check ldtpd.sh for now, this
doesn't return the version for now, it has to be implemented, if you check
for "ldtp --version" in v1
* In v1 each action command was given 1 second sleep time internally before
execution, but on v2 there is no delay unless its set in environment
variable LDTP_COMMAND_DELAY. So, the script has to use appropriate wait time
* As Javier found, launchapp, argument name changed from 'arg' to 'args'

Some of missing API in v2:

* Calendar object
* logFailures in v1 is not implemented in v2
* LDTP logging methods
* appundertest
* launchapp2
* imagecompare
* blackoutregion
* label object
* layeredpane object
* panel object
* ProcessStatistics
* wnck based window operation

LTFX will be removed in LDTP v2 in favor of wnck implmentation

I could not recollect any other for now.

Thanks
Nagappan
