testing testing testing

What I achieved

The commits are:

• Removed unncessary files:d0e2cf4e00
• Created separate helpers class. Removed logging:9a9f241252
• small change: 14e871ad40
• removed unneccesarry commented code:aa50ca622e
• DBus methods getting data working:804436e8ef
• Fixed typos, modified tests:df00cd368a

For testing the methods, I had to create a new test.py file. After these tests, all the methods which "get" information from the gst-switch-srv are working. Also the method set_compose_mode is working.

What problems I'm currently having.

• The method set_encode_mode is not working. Looking at how its implemented in the code of gst-switch, I found that its not implemented at all. https://github.com/timvideos/gst-switch/blob/master/tools/gstswitchcontroller.c#L69 The method table has no mention of this method https://github.com/timvideos/gst-switch/blob/master/tools/gstswitchcontroller.c#L969

What I am planning to do

Mithro had correctly pointed out that I will need a fully automatic test suite for testing the python api as well as the gst-switch. I am reading about how to use these. I have gone through py.test documentation. I will be using it for creating this test suite after I am done with very basic tests. Added to the to-do list :)
