regression testing of a .xul application

[chander...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is anyway to automate regression testing of
a .xul application? It is a database coded in xul and not a browser
extension.

Thanks,
Chander

On Windows, it is possible to use tools like TestComplete (from
AutomatedQA) to create scripts that can test a XUL application. XUL
apps support MSAA on Windows, an accessibility technology, that can be
used by test harness applications to script other applications.

You may check http://xpunit.mozdev.org/ . It is a fairly sophisticated
jUnit-style unit test framework. xpunit can be used to test binary
XPCOM, js XPCOM, chrome js, as well as xul and xbl parsing.

A live example of the framework in is can be found at
