Xscript can +also play back events from a script file to a client. + + xscript is useful as part of a regression test system, as it +can automate the playing of fixed sequences of operations into +an application program based on X. xscript can detect +application-program failures during playback. To do so, it +detects the failure of windows to appear as necessary for +playback, and reports errors when windows do not appear within +one second of when they are expected. A failure of a window to +appear is symptomatic of several classes of application failures, +including failure of a popup to appear and an application crash. + + Please note that xscript was written for X11R5 and therefore +has problems with some X11R6 programs! + + xscript is based on James L. Peterson's xscope program. |
