The '''Linux Desktop Testing Project''' (LDTP) is a set of [[open source]] [[testing tool]]s that uses accessibility libraries to [[wikt:trigger|trigger]] applications' [[user interface]] [[GUI widget|widget]]s.

LDTP is based on [[Assistive technology]].

The LDTP can generate an "AppMap" by finding out what widgets applications use.{{FactCitation needed|date=April 2007}} The framework can also record test cases by watching what a user clicks on.{{FactCitation needed|date=April 2007}} The LDTP framework then uses this "AppMap" and the recorded test cases to test applications. Using this tool, the GUI functionality of an application can be tested in Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD and embedded environment [[Linux GUI Application Testing]].{{Clarify me|date=March 2009}}

LDTP can test any accessibility-enabled [[GNOME]] application, [[Mozilla]], [[OpenOffice]], any Swing-based [[Java (programming language)|Java]] application and should be able to test [[Qt toolkit|Qt]] 4.0-based [[KDE]] 4 applications in the future if a KDE press release{{FactCitation needed|date=May 2007}} is correct.

The LDTP is released under the [[GPL]] and [[LGPL]].
