Any one using EggPlant??

My packaging workflow using Composer
snapshot => install => test it => test it again => test it again => build
package

and test the package deployment; try to deploy to few different Macs as
possible (different OSs, different hardware etc) and check all good.

There is a software can do the testing for images called

I am getting a demo of this soon. I will post my findings. If you already
familiar with this, your input welcome.

Did you ever get automated testing of the GUI? What do you use to do testing of the GUI?


We tested this, it's a great VNC client/server scripted automation system. The price was a little high though, so I wasn't able to get approval. Pretty nifty, it records what you do, buttons to press, keystrokes, etc., and it automates it for you. I really, really wish we could buy it, it's got an excellent track record.


Wow that's pretty cool.

@Don: Looks like Project SIKULI is an open-source alternative that works in similar fashion. http://sikuli.org

I think I'm going to check this out.


I will check out Eggplant but sikuli is very cool. I started playing with it a few years ago when it was on slashdot or something.

I managed at the time to get a sikuli script working from Self-Service that would change your Airport network, trust the cert. and all that jazz. The only problem was if the user moves the mouse pointer while it is running. :P

It was mostly an exercise is seeing if I could get it to do something cool anyway.
