First of all, congratulations on being selected for GSoC, and I'm personally 
interested in using the test framework.

When I test the openchange (Microsoft Exchange server) resource, I start up my 
test server, and then get akonadiconsole started. I then try to get it synced 
up, and make sure that the various displays match what I'm expecting - the 
right email address, the right name, the right message content, the right 
image in the address book entry, and so on.

Ideally I like to be able to set up the test framework with some reference 
file(s) that correspond to the various elements in the server (e.g. a mail 
message, a contact entry, an RSS entry, and so on) and then have the test 
framework check that akonadi reports the right properties in each element.

The next step after that would be an ability to create elements on the server 
from a file, and to check that they have been created correctly.

Eventually, some kind of stress test ability (create very large properties, 
null properties, repeated creation/deletion etc) would be nice.

Don't hesitate to ask more questions either here or on IRC if this isn't clear 
enough!

Brad
