Test Tools for CITRIX 1

[2ITLTD]

Hi,
Can anyone please advise, if there are any test automation tools that will work with Citrix Client s/w running as the User interface to an application?

I have a customer who would like to script/automate the user interface of there application using CITRIX as the front end. The only thing that I can think of that might be a limiting factor is the application uses a Bitmap image to draw icons on the screen. I have experienced SQA Team Test on this application and it does not handle these objects at all. The same problem applies to drag and drop. The application does not create each object seperately (instead it creates a large bitmap, similar to drawing in MS Paint) so it is difficult to identify the individual objects the user is trying to drag/drop. This make automating very difficult, especially a tool that is not designed for the job.

Citrix has a tool called the Citrix Server Test Kit (CSTK). I believe you can download this tool at the citrix site. Please read the Citrix Tech Paper (link below) to find out if it will suit your needs. I think it will. It works great.

Can you please give me the URL to find this test kit? I have looked all over the Citrix web site and can't find it.

Thanks.
