Hi All,
I wanted to implement LabVIEW software testing at user level (i.e) I want to record,replay and validate the front panel controls and indicators, when browsing through I got to Know about "NI UI Automation Tool" but there are some Issues like the sub panel controls and dialog box actions are not getting recorded or replayed,I tried a tool named AutoIT but in that everything is based on screen coordinate and validation of controls is not possible. Is there any other way to achieve the requirement.
Looking forward for Reply,
Thanks in advance,
Chibi

Have you tried looking a the Unit Test Framework? It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it is the closest thing that I can think of.

JKI has their own version of a unit tester VI.

It was developed before the NI version was made.

The issue with subpanels is that the controls and indicators in them are actually on the front panel of another VI (the one visible in the subpanel). It's a fine distinction that mostly only becomes important when you are trying to do something automated.

Hi All,
Thanks for your reply, I will look onto Unit testing framework and I could understand that since sub panel VI is different and that is the reason why it is not recorded,is there any way to overcome that problem and is there any way to record actions in dialog boxes.

Thank You Mike,
You have said that the tool is distributed as source, by that do you mean the files which are included with the EXE once we install the tool or have the entire source code of the EXE is available?
