PDA test automation using perl

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I want to automate testing of a PDA application which is developed on top of Windows mobile version 6.1. I am connecting the PDA to my desktop using a software MyMobileR version 1.23.

Is it possible to automate this PDA testing using Perl

Thanks in advance

Indu

Looks like you could use this article to help `http://www.perl.com/pub/2005/08/11/win32guitest.html` Assuming MyMobileR gives you a real window, everything in the article should apply. Ransom	[reply] [d/l]

This really depends on what kind of testing you have in mind. You can try Win32::GUITest, not sure if it also works on Windows mobile. If all else fails, you can still get a bunch of Lego Mindstorm stuff and use LEGO::NXT to automate testing "from the outside". Sounds crazy? Well, so does solving a rubik's cube in 5.3 seconds with only a phone and some Legos... "I know what i'm doing! Look, what could possibly go wrong? All i have to pull this lever like so, and then press this button here like ArghhhhhaaAaAAAaaagraaaAAaa!!!"	[reply]
