Could the fact that almost every Cocoa widgets supports the

of Test Scripts (` la Virtual User)?
This was not possible with ASK.
What couldn't you do with ASK (AppleScript Studio)?
What I'm looking for is a way to run Test scripts like:
Click on Button 1
Click on Button 2
Switch to Tab "something"
Type text "this is a text"
With AppleScript Studio, this is not possible except if you add some
script ability to your application.
If with the accessibility stuff, you're able to get the hierarchy of the
Widgets, maybe it's possible to create a tool to generate and run the
Test scripts I'm describing above without having to recode the
application.
From what I understand, you can get lot of attributes with the
Accessibility API. Combining it with the CGRemoteOperation.h APIs it
might be possible to do it, at least for mouse clicks.
I tend to believe that there's some hidden APIs that can allow you to
query an application for the accessibility description.
