VNCRobot 1.3.4

VNCRobot is a free and easy to use application for automated software testing based on VNC technology which enables to program, verify and reproduce behavior of a remote computer via RFB protocol and generate a comprehensive report.

VNC is a remote control software which allows you to view and interact with one computer (the "server") using a simple program (the "viewer") on another computer anywhere on the Internet. In simple words you can see the servers desktop (also called "frame buffer") in your viewer and you can operate the server as if you were working on a local machine.

The viewer actually sends all your mouse pointer moves, clicks and drags and keys typed on your keyboard to the server which sends back updates of the remote desktop. For more information on RFB protocol and VNC technology read the documentation on Tight VNC and Real VNC sites.

VNCRobot is an extension of VNC viewer. Apart from standard viewer functions it provides a scripting language which can simulate any user action and send the appropiate messages to the server. For example, if you want to type a text on your server, you may type it in a standard way in the viewer or use a VNCRobot script command to type the text for you.

There are commands for mouse moves, clicks and drags too. You may also take screenshots of your desktop, check for desktop updates, verify the result of your actions and many more. These features allow you to write a script consisting of such commands and execute it repeatedly to reproduce a task, for example testing of a software product.
