I have reached the point in my app where I it is impractical to test the UI manually whenever I make changes so an automated tool would be useful. I have unit tests with good coverage but I would like something to test the forms as well.

I used AutoIt a few years ago and looked at tools like Robot. Has anyone got an opinion on these or any other tool?

I note that when BootAndTestDPRO.cmd or TestDPRO.cmd is run, it does some testing of UI elements. Has anyone commandeered this for their own uses? This would be preferable as they are in Smalltalk.

Thanks, Vince
