[smc-discuss] Automated rendering testing - Weekly update. GSoC'13

[Nandaja Varma]

Hello,

Sorry for being so late with the update. I had no Internet access the past
week as I was on a journey.
These are my post-evaluation period updates:

The following modifications were asked to be made on the existing framework
by my mentor after a Hangout session as part of the evaluations:

1. Modify the comparison algorithm so as to show positive results for the
words with multiple correct renderings - This modification is made. Now,
the user can give multiple glyph names separated by comma in the reference
file and if the rendering matches any one of these, the framework will
return a positive response.

2. Modify the reference glyph file, adding the glyph names of words with
multiple correct renderings. Also some corrections were asked to be made in
the existing reference file.

3. Modify the framework such that the user can even test by giving the file
names as parameters. This one needs a little more work as I didn't give
options in argument parser for all the necessary file inputs. Will update
this soon.

Along with these some minor fixes were asked to be done on the script and
all those are taken care of.

As for the further developments, planned to create a web interface for this
framework. I am trying to create this interface using Flask and I am
currently working on it.
After that, the framework will be implemented in C. I have added a
partially working implementation of this in the repo.
After the completion of all these, if time permits, references for other
fonts are also planned to be made.

Will keep posted on further developments.
Thanks!
