Kibot

Kibot is a basic GUI test automation tool for kivy. You can automate touch and keyboard events with it and use it in your tests. (Tested in Linux and Windows 7).

Current features:

• Finding widgets filtering by property values.
• Clicking/pressing down a widget (using a mouse event provider)
• Sending keystrokes (using current keyboard)
• Creating testcases that can use kibot.
• Recording input events (touches, keyboard input) from a running app to be able to reproduce them later in a test.

Usage

Check example_testing.py for a TestCase example and example_record.py for a recording example

Requirements

• Python 2.7.
• kivy 1.8. (It should work with kivy 1.9 as well).

More info

What doesn't work/is not implemented yet:

• Double tap, triple tap. The touch provider is a mouseprovider than only sends left button events. Complex things like simulating rotations with two touches don't work.
• Keystrokes modifiers (Shift+, Ctrl+, etc.)

What I plan to add/do in the near future:

• Documentation. Lots of it.
• Improve input providers (touch and keyboard). They're already implemented in kivy.
• Running kibot in an android device.
• Some kind of BDD test specification to generate tests using natural language.

What needs to be improved but I don't have an answer yet:

• Improve Test maintainability. GUI tests are very sensitive to small changes in the code. For instance, if I record some touch events using Kibot.record any future change in the position and/or size of widgets could break the test.
