I guess a very basis of automatic GUI testing is the ability to get

As I used Windows previously, I'd say I miss GetWindowText function
and Spy++ utility somehow.
I noticed a tool called Dogtail, which seems to be the right tool for
my need.

However, "python-dogtail" package in Ubuntu repository is ridiculously
outdated; it is not upgraded since 8.04:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/python-dogtail
It doesn't even start on 12.04.
It is a package from Debian. It doesn't surprise me that much since
Debian develops few, if any, real GUI apps.
Ubuntu is different in a sense that Ubuntu develops Unity, Software
Center, Ubuntu One, ... in addition to package whatever upstream offers.
I wonder, does Ubuntu developer have better tools I don't know or they
simply don't bother to do automatic testing.
Have a look at xpresser and autopilot. These tools are both used to do
automated testing along with testing frameworks like UTAH. If your
interested in doing testing within ubuntu, I'd encourage you to come
check us out on the ubuntu quality team: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam
