Automated regression testing with AutoIt

[ZillaG 0]

I was looking for an Opensource tool with some COM support for regression testing, and a colleague pointed me here. I've read the FAQ, some docs, and some posts (some old ones) but I still have one basic question, so please bear with me.

I know I can automate button pushes, but can I use the tool to test the result of the button pushes? For example, say I have a form with 3 buttons, and depending on which buttons are pushed, I set the the background color or some text inside a text box. In this case, can I use AutoIt to check the text box results?

Thanks!

Is the GUI one which you made yourself, or a 3'rd party gui?

I made it myself, and I'm writing the underlying code in C++.

Well you get to decide what is returned from a function that deals with a button press.

The GuiCreate() example can show you how.

This thread is suspiciously similar t a thread I've closed twice in the last couple days. I'm closing this thread as well.

To answer the question (That is absurdly simple to answer): The answer to "can AutoIt do..." is almost always "yes". End subject.
