Designed to be easy to use, yet powerful and flexible, GnuCash allows you to track bank accounts, stocks, income and expenses. As quick and intuitive to use as a checkbook register, it is based on professional accounting principles to ensure balanced books and accurate reports.

In 2011, GnuCash had two successful GSoC projects:

• Muslim Chochlov wrote unit tests for critical parts of the Query Object Framework, an important foundation of GnuCash's core
• Natish Dodagatta worked on extending the Qt GUI for GnuCash, called CuteCash

Projects

• Data model unit testing The goal of the project is to fully document the QofObject, QofInstance, QofSession, QofBook and kvp_frame entities in LIBQOF module of GnuCash by means of unit tests from the point of view of developer to allow upcoming refactoring.
• Unified transaction entry system and First Person Overview for GnuCash: CuteCash Create a new improved user friendly UI for GnuCash using Qt, which would increase the productivity of using GnuCash by many folds and provide an easy and fun way to use it. A new unified data entry system to speed up the data entry process and a First Person Overview (FPO) feature to interact, edit, visualise and view reports from a single integrated view.
