Automated Testing

I'm at the stage in development where I need to develop some sort of automated test suite. Looking for some sort of command file that will simulate clicks on buttons of various type, keying data into fields, etc.

I have some thoughts on how to do this, but does anyone already have something in place?

Thanks,
Pete

Mark Wieder has a lot of experience with a variety of testing systems, and will hopefully chime in here with some of his insights.

While I build a lot of project-specific unit-testing tools, I've not taken the time to generalize or automate them.

This would seem an ideal project for the open source advocates in the community, but the tricky part will be establishing a framework for this that others could built on easily.

Mark Wieder, can you build that for us by Tuesday? Thanks in advance. :)
