I suspect one should investigate "abstract tests" here. That's where a base class provides all the cases, and a derived test suite class provides setUp() and tearDown(). They each generate a different GUI environment. I have done that for locales within one GUI type, but not across GUI types.

That's easier to test, too. ===== Phlip http://industrialxp.org/community/bin/view/Main/TestFirstUserInterfaces _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
