Hello,
We have been using an old version of Rational Robot [2003] on a Windows XP box to execute automated test scripts on our PowerBuilder 11 application. We have migrated our application to Windows 7 and now need to dismantle the XP test box. We were unable to get the old Rational Robot application running on Windows 7.
I evaluated a few Automated Test Tool trials: AutoIt and Macro Scheduler 14, but they do not seem to be able to handle screens with PowerBuilder DataWindows which comprise most of our screens. The AutoIt forum indicated that PowerBuilder objects do not respond to standard Windows APIs and therefore PowerBuilder applications are not compatible.
I appreciate any information concerning Automated Testing of PowerBuilder applications.
Regards,
Bill
