Guest derekliang Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hi all, I am just wondering if anyone had tried to use AutoIT to benchmark application. I have a GUI application needs to be benchmarked. The benchmark consists of about 50 steps. Because of the network/server load, there are steps might take up to 30 seconds to finish. Here is what it pseudo code looks like: # 1. get the current time # 2. send key commands and do some work .... # 3. wait # 4. repeat 2 step until all steps finish # 5. calculate the time spend Here is the problem. If I wait pre-determined time in step 3, the script will be finished and give same exact result each time. And also it will not work if I send all the key strokes to the application because either some dialog boxes are not opened yet or keys get missing for some reasons. So how do I detect if a GUI application ready to accept input. ;the following code to time how long it takes for Windows explorer ;to list all the directory on a remote server Run("c:\windows\explorer.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) sleep(1000) $begin = TimerInit() send ("{LEFT}{DOWN}{RIGHT}") ;list p drive content send("p") ;What should I insert here to make sure the directory listing is completed? ;I know MouseGetCursor ( ) will work but not in my case, because the mouse cursor will change a couple of times in our application. ;My thought is that if I can exam a window input message queue throught Windows API, things might work here $dif = TimerDiff($begin) Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
