Up to now we only do automated test on stuff that is related to text. We use 
the the tests files from OpenDocument Fellowship.
For each test file we have a file on how the internal data should look in 
koffice after it is loaded. So we load the data from the testfile and then 
check if the internal data is correct. 
For saving we save the document and load it again and check if after doing 
that the internal structure is still as it should be.

So this only checks if it is loaded/saved correclty. It does not check if it 
looks ok.

the stuff is under libs/kotext/opendocument/tests.
