It's a good idea, I think. Flex has this, so or wouldn't be unique to Pivot.
Probably the Pivot component set should be atom atable (that a word?), and all ow custom components to be automtable if they want through a help API that Pivot provides. We could even write an automated testing tool using Pivot. :) Cheers Chris On Sep 23, 2009 8:34 AM, "Sandro Martini" <sandro.mart...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi to all, an idea to discuss with all the team ... what do you think on the ability for Pivot Applications / Applets to be scripted from the outside world ? I'm thinking on something like Macros in Office and other programs ... for example the ability to sent pivot the same events that usually are sent inside the application/applet with keyboard and mouse. Like set focus to an element, select an element in a list or in a menu, set text in a field, etc ... and maybe also simulate mouse clicks at some positions. This could be very useful for automatic testing, there are some applications that works in this way (i think FEST but I'm not sure it works in this way :-) , or others). And also for testing performances of applications without (real) user interaction. In browser we can script if with Javascript, from the Browser, ok ... but i don't know if we can do all these things. And for Applications ? My trouble here is to verify the infrastructure needed for this, if it's already in Pivot, or if something has to be added/modified (if we think it's useful). Then, a test / tutorial could be interesting. Add in JIRA (for the 1.5) ? Comments ? Thanks, Sandro
