Hi all,

Just a note that there's a new major release of PyUseCase out with some big 
improvements on previous versions. If you've looked at it before and decided it 
was too hard to use it might be time to try again. It no longer requires any 
instrumentation or any logging on your part, it generates both for you.

Regards,
Geoff Bache

Summary for those who haven't seen it before:

PyUseCase is an unconventional GUI testing tool for PyGTK.

Instead of recording GUI mechanics directly, it asks the user for descriptive 
names and hence builds up a "domain language" along with a "UI map file" that 
translates this language into actions on the current GUI widgets. The point is 
to reduce coupling, allow very expressive tests, and ensure that GUI changes 
mean changing the UI map
file but not all the tests.

Instead of an "assertion" mechanism, it auto-generates a log of the GUI 
appearance and changes to it. The point is then to use that as a baseline for 
text-based testing, using e.g. TextTest.

It also includes support for instrumenting code so that "waits" can be 
recorded, making it far easier for a tester to record correctly synchronized 
tests without having to explicitly plan for this.
