As you said, there are professional testing suites that are about a hundred
times easier, less bloated, and more straight forward for doing this kind of
thing.

I'd examine various QA utilities, and I think you'd be pleasantly surprised.

Take care,

Subject: [jawsscripts] Something I thought of today - general software
testing

Was in a development team meeting this morning, and we were discussing
software product testing, and was just thinking that you could quite easily
automate some form of bulk software product testing using jaws scripts.

In other words, you could do something like install demo copies of jaws on
something like 10 machines, install some jaws scripts to make them
automatically go through a whole software use process, and let them all
start up at around the same time, and do something like loop through various
procedures like clicking buttons, hitting key strokes, typing in text - all
along with pauses etc. if you wanted the timing to sort of match real world
use - and the idea would be to get something like then backend
server/database server get to experience some heavy load testing.

I know there are other ways out there to do this, and I think there are some
other automation applications out there as well, but was just thinking it
would actually be relatively easy to implement using jaws and scripting.

Just wondering if this is something anyone else has looked into before?

Stay well
