Folks --
This question is not really about accessibility, but I hope it’s close enough.
We haven’t yet made our app scriptable, but our QA team would like to write test scripts anyway.
Of course they can write scripts which refer to
button "blah" of group 2 of window …, but
"blah" will certainly break when they want to test on translated versions, and I assume numbering like
group 2 can break when we change other parts of the user interface in that area of the window.
How can a Cocoa app provide names for AppleScript scripts to use, but keep those names stable? I’m willing to do a moderate amount of Cocoa work to implement this…
Thanks,
-- Mike
