- My program is getting very large, and I need a more systematic way of
- testing it. I keep coming across the problem that each time I release a
- new beta version, I find new bugs that I added that I know didn't exist
- in earlier versions.
-
- I would like to be able to run an automated test that checks all of the
- features that were working before so that I will know if I threw off an
- old feature by adding a new one.
-
- I have heard of Virtual User and would like to hear about what it takes
- to write scripts with it. I would also like to know if there are any
- other products out there that can do this. I suppose it might be possible
- to program a bunch of QuickKeys to test the features.
-
- I don't need the full power of Virtual User because I will only be testing
- on one machine at a time. How much time would I need to invest in learning
- how to use it? Are there any products that don't require MPW?
-
- Please email and I will summarize the useful information.
-
- Thanks
