Sounds like a good idea. But... My experiences with automating testing for GUI stuff has been generally "disappointing" so... YMMV. > I have looked-into TestComplete (by SmartBear), and the tool > has some nice features, however, it doesn't seem to recognize > FLTK widgets as easily as with native Windows controls. Not a tool I'm familiar with - do you know how it hooks into the native controls? It is quite likely that it expects a lot of very MS-Windows-ish stuff to happen, which we mainly don't do since it is broadly unnecessary and neither Fast nor Light... Since most fltk widgets derive from Fl_Widget you could conceivably create a testing version of the fltk lib with a modified Fl_Widget base class that would then allow you to instrument and control (and presumably automate) the GUI control. Though that might be more invasive than you had in mind? Other than that, some of the auto-testing libs work by literally simulating clicking on the buttons with the mouse (rather than hooking into the event loop) and they probably would work OK for fltk.
