Dogtail is THE way to go if you have to find an automated way of testing your software’s graphical user interface, but don’t have the big bucks to invest in a high end commercial tool. Almost all commercial tools out there have the advantage of good support and reliability, but some of them somehow are a bit restricted in their capacity to customize the tests we will perform. Dogtail is an open source project, not necessarily a tool by itself, but actually a framework written in Python, where you can build your customized GUI tests. This alone gives you unlimited power to adapt your tests specifically to your needs. Sure, you cannot hire your grandpa as GUI Test supervisor, you need to code your tests. Here’s an step by step guide by Len Dimaggio. Dogtail works very well on Gnome and GTK apps and we at Iconshock highly recommend it.

Jjay, we will hire Vanessa, depending on her psychological profile. Vanessa Hudgens? Vanessa Paradis? Vanessa Mae?

jeje…of course not Jjay! We at Iconshock have developed a special psychological test that says how productive a woman can be depending on her similarities with hot celebrities. Top notch! 100% effective! We are also planning on implementing a dress code. Bikini Friday or something like that. Sexy miniskirt Monday…. you know, interesting and transcendent changes like those can do a whole difference!

does that dress code apply to males as well?
