MacroAssert

MacroAssert is a free, open-source tool that allows the user to create sequences of highly configurable steps that can be used to test user interfaces. The goal is to provide an intuitive tool for creating reliable UI tests that are agnostic to changes in display scale, monitor resolution, and front panel control positions.

Features

No-code framework: tests are configured through a GUI and are stored as INI files, meaning no LabVIEW experience is needed to create tests
Mouse actions can be configured to be relative to a front panel control or window, in either pixels or percent
Keyboard actions have support for Ctrl, Alt, and Shift modifiers
Support for various other actions, such as maximizing and minimizing windows and waiting until a set time of day
Long list of assertions that can be used, such as verifying front panel control values, verifying the frontmost window name, verifying that a window is fully on-screen, and many more
Ability to connect remotely to a runtime application to run tests on it
Ability to generate HTML reports of results
