Automated Testing for C/C++ GUI Applications.

I have a GUI application written in C/C++ using gcc. I need some recommendations for writing an automated test system for it. What tools/scripting should be used? The application runs on Windows.

From stackoverflow

• We have used TestComplete here, with some success.

  rpg : Why only some success?

  qrdl : Our GUI application was written in Borland C++ Builder which sometimes uses some obscure controls not fully supported by TestComplete. But generally TestComplete performed well.

  j0rd4n : We've also used this before and really liked it. It has some great features.

  Afridi : Thanks for your response qrdl , i have looked into TestComplete it seems to be having certain limitations which can reduce as you said amount of success. However i have found AutoIT script which is also nice http://www.autoitscript.com/

• My recommendation is PyWinAuto, open source tool, python based tests (fast and easy to develop) and work on win32 level. http://pywinauto.openqa.org/

  Afridi : Thanks santi it seems to be quite resembling to http://www.autoitscript.com/ but kind of giving more control than autoit.
