My dad (a former PhD physicist mind you) has managed to mess up his computer in spectacular ways. Once it was so spectacular, I tried to reproduce what he'd done; no amount of thinking and trying worked.

It is possible - and I asked the question, but to be honest it does not fit, that a seemingly self-respecting board member would open an almost anonymous account in CP to re-post a 3 years old article... Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

For the specific test threading reduced the elapsed time from 50 to 25 mins, and significantly improved CPU utilisation. Ger

I haven't written an article on Selenium so your message obviously isn't directed at me. I'm pretty sure none of the regulars here have either. When you have a question about an article, the correct place to ask your question is on the forum at the end of the article. Don't post in a random place hoping that the author will stumble across it.

This thread is about unit tests, though. I think people are getting confused with the "automated" part in the thread title. It is the *generation* that is automated, not the execution. Also there are many reasons to use different suites to run different kinds of tests, but that's not particularly relevant to this thread.

I used it for 2 months a year+ ago, it nicely records physical actions so you can build tests without coding, but then breaks for no apparent reason, so you have to dive into the code. I never got conversant with it enough to say I know it well.

Perhaps I can introduce a scuba diving style "beer fine" for each time my buddy check finds a problem. BTW. Don't drink and dive people. The beer is drunk AFTER the dive, (and before the coding).

Nice one :thumbsup:, but billing of 40 hours will not be sufficient if it break any existing (working) things :)

Since nobody answered so far... I've looked around some time ago, and found that almost all frameworks available for Windows require .NET, or at least managed C++. One of the few that doesn't is WinUnit: It requires some work for you (creating test classes for each class to test), but otherwise saves a lot of work by extracting the test cases directly from the binaries. I haven't yet tried it out myself because it wasn't really what I required, but it may be useful for your purposes. Should be easy enuogh to google for, and IIRC the documentation even contains references of alternate solutions.
