[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Recommendations sought for Windows testing/logging/demo tools

moriarty@tc.fluke.COM (Jeff Meyer) (02/20/91)

I'm in the market for software to help in automated testing of various MS
Windows 3.0 applications, i.e. "keyboard macro" or "demo" tools which record
and "playback" mouse and keyboard information.  (Though features geared
towards automated testing would be *extremely* welcome.)  Systems which
produce scripts (particularly scripts editable with a text editor) would be
particularly helpful.

Recommendations and criticisms of the various tools you've had experience
with or have seen in action would be greatly appreciated; the Programmer's
Workshop catalog lists the LogSHIELD and DemoSHIELD applications from The
Stirling Group (I'm particularly interested in LogSHIELD.)  However, since
the Workshop sent me an old catalog, several other applications may have
popped into existance since then.

I'll be happy to summarize any replies in comp.windows.ms.programmer; thanks
very much for any information you can provide.

                           "Don't you care about this
                            country?"
                                                     "Damn right I care...
                                                      about *this* country.
                                                      That's why I own it."
