xscript is a program which sits between an X client and an
|
|
X server, monitors the events flowing from the server to
|
|
the client, and records events in a script file. 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.
