| − | The VCL TestTool is the application used to automatically test [[OOo]] from the UI. Basically, it connects to the running office,

| + | |
| − | Download the testtool application [http://qa.openoffice.org/qatesttool/ here] (you probably want the OOo2.0 binaries). Unpack the archive,
| + | |
| − | start the <code>testtool</code> executable. Read up on how to setup [http://qa.openoffice.org/qatesttool/OOo_testtool.pdf here]. Please note that
| + | |
| − | the base and HID directories on the profile tab page must point to a checked-out tree of the qa/qatesttool directory:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs co -P qa/qatesttool | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The basedir must point exactly to that checked-out directory, e.g. <somepath>/qa/qatesttool, the HID directory to e.g. <somepath>/qa/qatesttool/global/hid.
| + | |
| − | After that, change to the Generic tabpage in the Extras->Settings dialog, select OOoProgramDir as Area (if it does not exist: simply type it literally in the Area edit line), and enter the path to an installed OOo instance in the
| + | |
| − | Settings edit field (enter the full path to the place where the soffice/ooffice binary is located, usually something like <path>/program).
| + | |
| − | For the various [[OOo]] releases exists different sets of test scripts: [cvs tags and branches].

| − | | + | |
| − | Open one of the test scripts in the qa/qatesttool directory, e.g. <code>qa/qatesttool/framework/first/first.bas</code> or <code>qa/qatesttool/framework/first/topten.bas</code>. Press <code>F5</code> to run the test. Eventually, the office pointed to by the Generic settings
| + | |
| − | page will open, and the test will be run (make sure the office keeps the focus, and best leave both keyboard and mouse alone during test run).
