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.

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.
