I think both proposed approaches have problems with testing GUI
apps. I suggested to Brad that he concentrate initially on getting
non-GUI testing working, then only look at methods for GUI testing if
he has time.
If he does get time, then it looks like there are quite a few windows
GUI scripting systems freely available (just from a quick google
search). I'm not sure how we'd trigger these from the Unix side of
'make test'. I guess we could connect with rdesktop and setup a logon
script that starts a series of GUI scripts. It might be tricky to work
out whether the app has behaved correctly though.
Cheers, Tridge
