Very interesting idea. But one of our goals is to allow a separate team of application testers to write their own test scripts without the need for any actual Remedy development. Our developers don't really have the extra cycles to define test scripts in active link guides. They're hoping to continually build on the set of test scripts, so it would be a development task that never ended.
I'm thinking Mid Tier is going to be our best bet. It won't be as comprehensive as a Remedy User test (no toolbar, etc) but it may be more feasible. I just have to get the quirks ironed out that we've seen so far.

Now that the Active Links have just about 100% functionality with that a user can do. I would suggest that you build a "test harness" in the form of Active Link guides. You could create a special ARS group that would grant your test users access to these guides so that all users are not weighted down by the objects. Then from the outside of the User tool you would Call the guide and then check the "expected results" after the action is done. (So have your guides submit one or more records to a "status form" when they are done and you should be able to make this fairly standardized.) Remedy/BMC just did not expose enough of the right handles to remotely control the User Tool via OLE/COM. ( I in fact think you would have better luck trying to automate the Mid-Tier than the User Tool. But that would likely take different tools.) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
