Freeware Descriptions:
VNCRobot is a tool based on a VNC client. It can control remote computers running a VNC server via the RFB protocol. VNCRobot provides its own proprietary scripting language and a set of useful features allowing to program, verify and reproduce behavior of the remote computer and provide a comprehensive report, which makes it a powerful tool for automated testing of any software. For real usage examples see the How To Use VNCRobot document. There’s also a VNCRobot 1.2 demo which demonstrates basic functionality on an example of a simple automated test case.
Here is complete features (taken from authors site):
How does it work?
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 server’s 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 appropriate 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.
What do I need to run VNCRobot?
Download VNCRobot from the Downloads page. As the tool is written in Java, you will have to download and install Java Runtime Environment (JRE). You will also need to install and set up a VNC server. All three software components are free and support virtually all significant operating systems and platforms. Please read the VNCRobot Install Notes available in the Documentation section for more information.
