## AI overview

The ReactOS Project announces its first development contract, awarded to Edijs Kolesnikovics to expand an AutoHotkey-based application test suite. The tests are intended to support automated regression testing and help developers detect regressions more quickly.

## Source excerpt

The ReactOS Project is proud to announce the first of the development contracts that will be funded by the recent donation campaign. Edijs Kolesnikovics joined the ReactOS development team very recently and has been working extensively with Amine Khaldi and Olaf Siejka to create an application test suite based around the AutoHotkey (AHK) automation system. AutoHotkey is a tool for scripting keyboard and mouse actions in order to automate running of programs on Windows. While the current test suites exercise a considerable amount of functionality, the true test for ReactOS remains when it is used to run applications.
