My company is in the process of developing applications that are based on X11R3. Testing interactive applications is challenging enough, but adding the complexity of X11 and widgets that we developed ourselves, increases the likelihood of not catching a bug during unit and system test. I am looking for a way to improve test coverage and a better model for testing our user interface. I would also like recommendations on the best way to select an alternate data stream for the keyboard and mouse, so that application i/o can be emulated. Also, it is my understanding that there is an X Testing Consortium that is putting together test and verification suites. Is there anyone familiar with this activity and are there any PD test suites available? Please post or E-Mail any revelant information or sources related to Xlib, X toolkit, or user interface testing. Information regarding testing strategies would also be appreciated.

As part of the X Testing Consortium, HP has been developing a client exerciser that allows capture and replay of event streams. It is based fundamentally on the Input Synthesis Extension, which is included in the MIT R3 distribution. The client exerciser will be included in the public release of the test suite, which is expected to happen later this year.
