Given that it 'understands' Delphi objects, I guess that means it copes with
things like moving buttons around? What if you change the caption? I guess
it dies if you change the *name* of the component?
How do you build the scripts -- does one put SQA Robot in 'record' mode, and
use the application as normal?
Sounds pretty natty.
I've never managed to convince anybody to spend the time and money required
to make a product like that pay-off. Have you been using it for long?
Maybe a good demo at the next DUG meeting :-)
Cheers,
Kerry S
