[comp.windows.x] Automatic testing in a window environment

mark@sunquest.UUCP (Mark McCourt) (10/17/89)

	Does anybody have any good literature references on automatic
	testing of software in a window-oriented environment?  We have an
	application using X and OSF/motif that we would like to be able
	to test in a more consistent and robust manner than hiring someone 
	to sit in front of a workstation and verify output. 

	Also, i have seen comments on the net indicating that the XSendEvent
	request has too high an overhead to use with much frequency.  I 
	would guess that in special cases such as generating the correct 
	sequence of events to automatically test a window application in
	a consistent manner that this overhead might be acceptable.  Does
	anyone have any thoughts about this?

	Thanks - Mark McCourt
