Testing a GUI by scripting events?

David,

Sorry, pushed the wrong button! Here's the link. Give it a go, I like it a
lot, I just have to sell it to my collegues.

It sounds like you are trying to improve your testing effort, much as I am.
I became convinced that full GUI testing using a playback tool is too
fragile, as if a control is moved the mouse click or whatever will miss it.
I was resorting to "monkey scripts" (my name) ie "Click here, verify this
happens...", which are tedious to run, and require a ready supply of
monkeys. I did find this paper that gives a method of testing most of what
gives the most trouble in GUIs, the logic.
