Installing Quicktest

Installing Quicktest

Quicktest is quite early in development (it's <7 days old). As such there's not a huge number of ways to install Quicktest.

Prerequisites

Install the prerequisites for Quicktest.

Note: Installing Quicktest from the Quickemu PPA will pull in Quickemu and most required dependencies.

• Quickget (part of Quickemu)
• Quickemu (runs the virtual machines)
• tesseract (performs the OCR on screenshots)
• imagemagick (convert command scales screenshots for better OCR performance)
• notify-send (optional) (sends a desktop notification on testcase pass or fail)
• ffmpeg (optional) (generates a timelapse from screenshots)

Quickemu & Quickget

Other requirements

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt install tesseract-ocr imagemagick ffmpeg libnotify-bin
