About the TestTool

The TestTool is a standalone program that is used for the automated testing of OpenOffice.org. The TestTool communicates with the TCP/IP-Interface of OpenOffice.org and can test each installation of OpenOffice.org on a PC or in a local area network (LAN). The current TestTool can be used on OpenOffice.org 1.1beta and higher. However, as there can be some incompatible changes in future OpenOffice.org builds you may need to use a newer version of the TestTool. Current versions of TestTool can always be found here
