In the current "Automated Software Testing" magazine there is a short article about IcuTest. It is written that with "Test Generator" you can automatically create GUI unit tests:
ICUTest is a free GUI Unit test tool for Windows Presentation Foundation. Test Generator, included with ICUTest, is a tool that automatically creates GUI unit tests for an application. Just specify your assembly (executable or DLL) and Test Generator will inspect your assembly for UI components and generate unit tests automatically.
- What is the benefit of such tests, what is tested? Is it a bitmap comparison that is recorded when you execute Test Generator for the first time and which wants to make sure the layout does not change? If yes, it could be a useful tool to see whenever some (unexpected) changes to the GUI were made. Am I right?
- Is anyone using this tool in production environment?
