KdeEcoTest on Windows? Yes 🚀

#KdeEcoTest is used for creating replicable scripts for measuring software's #energy consumption.

Season of #KDE contributor Amartya Chakraborty has extended its support to Windows.

KdeEcoTest creates scripts without requiring access to source code. Soon we can compare energy profiles of Okular vs. Acrobat!

Making way for Wayland in KdeEcoTest!

#KdeEcoTest is an automation and testing tool. It is used for creating usage scenario scripts to measure the #energy consumption of software.

Season of #KDE contributor Athul Raj K has added #Wayland support to the tool. Now it is possible to compare the energy demands of software on Wayland vs. X11!

libinput workflow: on the left one sees a box labelled "kernel" containing two smaller boxes with "/dev/input/event0" and "/dev/input/event1". From the two smaller boxes two arrows point to another box on the right labelled "Compositor process" containing a smaller box "libinput". From this larger box an arrow points right, over which "Wayland protocol" is written, to the final box labelled "Wayland client".

KdeEcoTest makes it easy to create usage scenario scripts. These are necessary for measuring the software's energy consumption & hardware and network usage in the lab.

Athul Raj Kollareth will work on improving the tool using KWin scripting API and uinput.

Amartya Chakraborty (@c_amartya) will work on adding support for Windows.

The KdeEcoTest tool does not need access to source code, so we can compare Free Software to proprietary software doing the same tasks.

Exciting Season of #KDE 2023 updates from Mohamed Ibrahim (@hemasonus)!

Many new features added to #KdeEcoTest, a tool used when measuring software's #energy consumption!

"Season Of KDE 2023 With KDE Eco: Improvements To KdeEcoTest"

Read about the new CLI and repeat actions, modal window support, #OSCAR formatting & runtime logs, keyboard support, and mouse drag.

Great work, Mohamed!

The new design of KdeEcoTest. As shown here, the Runner module depends on the Parser which depends on the Actions. Whenever the Runner starts it creates a test Context that holds the necessary info to execute the scripts.
