JAutomate For Mac

JAutomate is a GUI test automation tool that will make test automation of a user interface easier and much more reliable than ever before.

Position based. Record and replay using fixed coordinates. Worked fine for old  command line applications since the screen resolution was fixed and all applications operated in full screen mode.

Object based. Window based application can have any screen size and location. The GUI widgets are encapsulated by objects to be able to record scripts that are tolerant to changes in the user interface.

This fixes the problem with the first generation tools but object based automation tools are very sensitive to third party or customized widgets. This makes them really inefficient to use unless the application under test was designed with test automation, and the selected test automation tool, in mind.

Image recognition. The test tool can actually visually identify (see) the position on the screen to interact with just like a manual tester.

This makes the third generation test automation tools insensitive to both fixed coordinates and implementation details of the user interface.

A third generation test automation tool can automate any type of application regardless of framework and operating system used.
