Fur Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Here's my issue: In automating a complex application you have to go thru multiple steps to get to a particular dialog you're trying to automate. After each test, you may have to manually go back and undo what its done before you can retest etc. I prefer to make unit tests for each of my scripts that interact with a particular dialog. My idea: It would be awesome if there was a tool that worked something like the AutoIt window info tool, where you could point it at a particular window. This tool would have a capture option, you could trigger it, and it would spy through the window and generate the AutoIt script that would reproduce that window with all the same controls/same static data in the same locations. This would let you 'capture' a fake version of the dialog. Then you can focus on automating this one dialog independent of everything else. With a small amount of effort you could add some dynamic behavior and/or setup test cases. Is there anything like this already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fur Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 You're getting warm. Is there some way with that tool to dump out the script to make the clone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
