Hi,
We have prepared one document describing a popular testing method
of Screenshot Comparison to test any application. We have prepared
guidelines as well as instructions for GUI testers of language
community and organizations. Particularly for open source
community this method can be used to engage community in QA
activity at large scale.

Please provide feedback and suggestions for the ^^ document.

For this testing purpose Deckard (A web based glade runner) can be
of some help. Manoj Giri earlier tried testing with Deckard after
Dogtail got deprecated. I came to know about Deckard only after Runa
gave a demo presentation about Deckard at Wikimedia language summit.
Deckard will be really helpful for the above purpose as it
dynamically displays the UI of the selected module in desired
language. Moreover, the displayed UI can be used as a real UI which
is better than a screenshot. The only shortcoming is that at one
time only language can be selected i.e, there is no provision for
selecting both source and target language. I wrote a mail to
Deckard's developer requesting this feature change in reply to which
he suggested me a simple workaround which can the serve the above
purpose. An addon named split-panel needs to added to Firefox and
two panel of the same page opens up in the browser window allowing
us to display the UIs side by side in both English and native
language. However, this instance of Deckard has only Gnome modules
at present and there is no provision to add other projects to it.
The developer says for other projects like LibreOffice, a separate
instance of Deckard has to be created. Moreover, only the latest
gnome modules are available for testing. There is no provision for
selecting the older gnome versions. All these feature changes can be
done and will take some time but for now I feel using the panel
splitting method the testing purpose can be served.
