We want to fully simulate the end user experience. So all the point and clicks need to be tested. Using an API approach will bypass the Mid Tier or Remedy User clients and go straight to the server. That's great for stress testing or for testing of filters, but we need to make sure all our active links, buttons, fields, etc are also tested exactly as the end user would interact with them. Is there some way to do this through the .NET API?

I'm using a VBA scripting app (Compuware TestPartner) to create regression testing scripts of our Remedy applications. I'm having two main problems: 1. Issuing a "click" on buttons. I can usually get around this by using a SendKeys command to send an Enter command after setting focus to a field. But this only seems to work sporadically. 2. Triggering "Menu/Row Choice" workflow on selection of Selection or Character menus. I can set a text value to these fields, but that doesn't trigger Menu/Row Choice workflow. I can't get any SendKeys commands to open the menu at all, so I really have no workaround for this one. I've also been tinkering with controlling Internet Explorer for Mid Tier regression testing. Although that too is quirky. For instance, the browser window will split in half (one half the form, the other half entirely blank) when clicking on drop down buttons. There are a few other oddities as well. I'm not a VBA expert or an automation expert. So any advice you can give would really be appreciated. I know BMC does similar regression testing using Silk, but I have yet to get answers on how they handle these limitations.
