KDE Eco has 5 new contributors in #SOK24 making the measurement of software's energy consumption easier and better integrated in the CI/CD pipeline!

Their work will help make  software more efficient and environmentally friendly, as well as more accessible.

Looking forward to what 2024 brings for KDE Eco. It will be a momentous year, with lots of big steps forward 🚀

In this post I start my journey in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) with KDE Eco by describing progress made on the exciting project of making remote access to the Energy Measurement Lab a reality.

KdeEcoTest makes it easy to create usage scenario scripts. These are necessary for measuring the software's energy consumption & hardware and network usage in the lab.

Athul Raj Kollareth will work on improving the tool using KWin scripting API and uinput.

Amartya Chakraborty (@c_amartya) will work on adding support for Windows.

The KdeEcoTest tool does not need access to source code, so we can compare Free Software to proprietary software doing the same tasks.

KDE's "Sustainable Software" and "Accessibility" goals require automated testing, which fulfills the "Automate and Systematize Internal Processes" goal as well 😍

Selenium Webdriver AT-SPI is a tool that moves all three goals forward!

Pradyot Ranjan (@prady0t) will work on Selenium automation of energy measurement & accessibility tests in KDE. This includes creating guides with PeerTube videos, along with automating tests for apps like GCompris.
