Automated KDE Test Reports
==========================

   With the help of several other people I have begun writing automated
test scripts for KDE.  Located in kdenonbeta/kdetestscripts the current
tests range from icon checking, finding memory leaks, outdated header
names, slow code, and many more.  The majority of the problems found by
the scripts can be fixed with one line changes to the code.  If you are
someone who has wanted to play around in KDE's code, but don't know
where to start this just might be the spot for you.

     Find out more by check out the current report*
[http://www.icefox.net/kde/tests/report.html] which contains links on
how to get the code and create diffs along with all the currently found
problems and hints/links on how to fix them.  If you feel up to the
task, fix a few of them and send the patch to the applications author or
pass it onto a developer in #kde-devel on irc.kde.org.  Once your patch
is reviewed you get to see your change commited into KDE. :-)

     Feel free to come up with more ideas for scripts or even write up
some of the scripts in the TODO list.  There can easily be ten times as
many test scripts as there are now.

     *If your application isn't listed right now or isn't in KDE's CVS
you can still get the scripts from CVS and run them on your own code. 
Also I will be adding the rest of KDE within the week.
