These applications can then use Windows PowerShell functionality to implement certain operations, including those exposed via the graphical interface. This capability has been used by Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 to expose its management functionality as PowerShell cmdlets and providers and implement the graphical management tools as PowerShell hosts which invoke the necessary cmdlets.[2][4] Other Microsoft applications including Microsoft SQL Server 2008 also expose their management interface via PowerShell cmdlets.[5] With PowerShell, graphical interface-based management applications on Windows are layered on top of Windows PowerShell.

A PowerShell scripting interface for Windows products is mandated by Microsoft's Common Engineering Criteria.[6] Background[edit] PowerShell v2.0 development began before PowerShell v1.0 shipped. Design[edit] Cmdlets[edit] Xpresser. What is Xpresser?

An Introduction to Using TPTP's Automated GUI Recorder

This tool allows users to record GUI actions in the Eclipse platform and play them back to verify the functionality of their product. It is meant to allow Eclipse developers to automate regression tests that often require many resources to perform repetitive tasks to verify basic functionalities. TPTP's Automated GUI Recorder (AGR) works by registering listeners with the SWT's display instance to record all incoming UI events that directly correspond to user's actions. The recorder keeps track of the context of the events and generates a script that allows the tool to playback the events in the respective order that the user recorded them. AGR gives users the ability to also insert verification hooks based on a view, editor, or a shell. 15.17. ctypes — A foreign function library for Python.
