Replay Xcessory combines true widget awareness, a non-proprietary scripting language, and automatic synchronization to provide object-based capture/playback verification of your most sophisticated applications. Replay tests your products faster and with greater accuracy than any other testing tool available today. Because Replay Xcessory minimally instruments the application under test (AUT) , and in only the most effective place, the X ToolKit library (Xt), your tests are completed rapidly and with the least amount of impact on the application. There are no additional libraries to link and no modifications to source code. Since Replay Xcessory does not require any X server instrumentation, it runs on any X terminal or X server. Tests are easily created by automatically recording interactions with the application. Captured in standard TCL scripting, Replay Xcessory provides an open solution for testing distributed systems, applications, and data.
