[QA testing] doh.robot: Automating Web UI Unit Tests with Real User Events

[Eli Cochran]

While looking for something completely different, I encountered the  
doh.robot: Automating Web UI Unit Tests with Real User Events.

http://dojotoolkit.org/2008/08/11/doh-robot-automating-web-ui-unit-tests-real-user-events

 From the site:

"...the Dojo Object Harness (DOH) unit test framework, called  
doh.robot, scheduled to appear in Dojo 1.2. This enhancement adds an  
API to DOH that enables testers to automate their UI tests using real,  
cross-platform, system-level input events."

"However, we took a different approach to dispatching events: instead  
of using synthetic events, we used the cross-browser and cross- 
platform Java applet technology to place real events on the native  
event queue, as if a real person performed the action."


Interesting!
