+<title>Overview</title>
+<para>
+This extension is a minimal set of client and server extensions
+required to completely test the X11 server with no user intervention.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This extension is not intended to support general journaling and
+playback of user actions. This is a difficult area [XTrap, 89] as it attempts
+to synchronize synthetic user interactions with their effects; it is at the
+higher level of dialogue recording/playback rather than at the strictly lexical
+level. We are interested only in the latter, simpler, case. A more detailed
+discussion and justification of the extension functionality is given in
+[Drake, 91].
+</para>
+
+<para>
+We are aiming only to provide a minimum set of facilities that
+solve immediate testing and validation problems. The testing extension
+itself needs testing, where possible, and so should be as simple as possible.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+We have also tried to:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Confine the extension to an appropriate high level within the server
+to minimize portability problems. In practice this means that the extension
+should be at the DIX level or use the DIX/DDX interface, or both. This
+has effects, in particular, on the level at which "input synthesis"
+can occur.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Minimize the changes required in the rest of the server.

+Minimize performance penalties on normal server operation.

+<para>
+The functions provided by this extension fall into two groups:
+</para>
+
+<variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Client Operations</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+These routines manipulate otherwise hidden client-side behavior. The
+actual implementation will depend on the details of the actual language
+binding and what degree of request buffering, GContext caching, and so on, is
+provided.
+In the C binding, defined in "XTEST Extension Library", routines are
+provided to access the internals of two opaque data structures
+-- <function>GC</function>s
+and
+<function>Visual</function>s --
+and to discard any requests pending within the
+output buffer of a connection. The exact details can be expected to differ for
+other language bindings.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Server Requests</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+The first of these requests is similar to that provided in most
+extensions: it allows a client to specify a major and minor version
+number to the server and for the server to respond with major and minor
+versions of its own. The remaining two requests allow the following:
+<!-- .RS -->
+ </para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Access to an otherwise "write-only" server resource: the cursor
+associated with a given window
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Perhaps most importantly, limited synthesis of input device events,
+almost as if a cooperative user had moved the pointing device
+or pressed a key or button.

+These are abstract definitions of functionality. They refer to client-side
+objects such as "GC" and "VISUAL" that are quoted to
+denote their abstract nature. Concrete versions of these functions are
+defined only for particular language bindings. In some circumstances
+a particular language binding may not implement the relevant abstract
+type or may provide it as a transparent, rather than opaque, type, with
+the result that the corresponding function does not make sense or is
+not required, respectively.
