integration testing - Automated test tools for Linux/ncurses

Question

I've picked up a legacy application developed in C/C++ on Linux, using ncurses for UI. What automated testing tools are there for this environment?

Edit: I've used AutomatedQA TestComplete in the past, and this is the type of tool I'm looking for - except running on Linux, and with the ability to test Text UI apps.

Answer 1

I wrote something like that before. Not much docs, but you can try the code. It's written in Python and runs on Linux.

You would basically need the ANSIterm filter, and the expect module. Then you compose them into a filter. You'll likely have to start the process with the proctools module. They are all designed to work together or separately (modular).
