GUI Replay (Developement)

Overview

To replay a sequence of events, multiple ideas exist:

• Send events through operating system

  preferred method since tester and tested application are completly separate

  Problem: How to test assertions on the running application

• Let Vision2 act as a server and send events and assertions over network

  generates overhead but is flexible

  Problem: Checking assertions over network might not be easy

• Compile the replay sequence and the player together with the application

  easiest method to check assertions since the tester has full access to the application

  Problem: Compile application for each test or compile all tests into the application
