Hi:

  Can any of you advise me on where I can find software to do
automated testing? I am specifically looking for shell scripts or
programs that will simulate mouse clicks and the opening of dialogs
and combo boxes. I don't know what these scripts would be called so I
am at loss on Googling for them. In the past I have used "black box"
testing to find bugs in the port I maintain. This is quite time
consuming.
 Also, if anyone can suggest books or material on effective software
testing, I would appreciate that also.

Jonathan
