+LibreOffice QA Tools
+
+smoketest
+=========
+
+smoketest executes a set of macros that create a minimal document in
+each of LibreOffice's applications, tests cut&paste and
+saving/loading in various formats.
+
+Invoke it as oosmoketest.
+
+This program manipulates the LibreOffice user configuration, USE IT
+WITH A DEDICATED USER ACCOUNT if you value your settings.
+
+qadevOOo
+========
+
+qadevOOo is a framework for executing tests for the LibreOffice
+API.  It is documented at
+http://qa.openoffice.org/qadevOOo_doc/user-guide.html
+
+Predefined properties files exist in /usr/lib/openoffice/qadevOOo.
+
+Invoke it like e.g:
+
+  ootestapi -ini /usr/lib/openoffice/qadevOOo/java.props -o sd.SdMasterPage
+
+That properties files specify AppExecutionCommand, i.e. an office will
+be started if necessary. Some tests, however seem to work better if
+the office was started manually, as written in the user guide.
+
+  /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;"
+
+Use this invocation and not ooffice to prevent interference with the
+quickstarter code.
+
+testtool
+========
+
+testtool is a framework for executing tests by automating actions in
+LibreOffice's user interface. It is documented at
+http://qa.openoffice.org/qatesttool/index.html
+
+Test scripts for testtool are available in the
+libreoffice-qa-ui-tests package.
+
+Start it as ootesttool.
+
+If you're starting it for the first time, create a profile in
+Extras->Settings where you specify the location of test scripts and
+output path for log files. The default values point to the scripts
+from the libreoffice-qa-ui-tests package, so simply giving a name
+to the profile and pressing the "New" button is enough.
+
+Then open a test script and press F5 to start the test.
+
+Some test scripts may change your LibreOffice user
+configuration. USE IT WITH A DEDICATED USER ACCOUNT if you value your
+settings.
