Question ChUI Automated Testing Tools?

Greetings

Would anyone care to share their experiences using any automated tools for
testing Progress ChUI systems?

Current system is V10.2A. Yes, I know.

Good, bad, experiences and opinions all welcome.

TIA

Nigel.

I have experimented with building a few Progress testing tools over the years, I'm working on one right now (in my spare time). It's difficult to get traction as the cost is high and the payoff is indeterminate. It's a big topic with many different approaches and ideas, which I'm happy to get into if you're interested.

Probably my strongest feeling about automated testing is that, for the most part, the cost of testing UI's (especially GUI's but CUI as well) is just not worth it. However, non-UI programs are much more feasible.
