### AI overview

The ReactOS Project announced an extension to Edijs Kolesnikovics's contract to develop additional application tests using AutoHotkey. The work targets release-ramp testing and, time permitting, applications on the Golden Apps list, with the objective of expanding automated regression coverage.

### Source excerpt

The ReactOS Project is happy to announce an extension to Edijs Kolesnikovics's contract for developing application tests using AutoHotkey. Amine Khaldi, the supervisor for the previous contract, was very satisfied with Edijs' work and moved that an extension be made to give Edijs more time to develop additional tests. The first contract saw tests for installing applications and the exercising of some very basic functionality, as well as some improvements to the testing framework.

### 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.
