Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.I had my academic tests and  I was waiting for
your reply for my last mail. In the meanwhile I have done following works:

1. First of all I cleared my misconception about benchmarks, that it is
done only on two separate machines. And learnt that there are other
circumstances where benchmarks are also used to measure performances of a
function an operation etc...

2.Also I came across Sebastian Trueg's blog about why a central DBus
architecture is required for nepomuk data management.

3. Studied about QTestLib framework and API. How a basic test is created
and how QBENCHMARK macro is added to a test function that we want to
benchmark.

4. Also tried few of the examples given in QTestLib tutorial and succeeded
to write test functions for my own small sample class.

Sorry, I couldn't do more work because of my college tests. I hope you
would give me a feedback on the work i have done and what more work to be
done. I believe it would help me come up with a proof of concept and
writing a proposal.
