This is an application for reviewing performance tests. Simple in concept, tricky to describe. Picture:

1) Recording interactions with a WPF program so the inputs can be played back.

2) Playing the inputs back while doing a continuous screen capture.

3) Capturing wall time as well as continuous CPU percentages during playback.

4) Repeating steps (2) and (3) lots of times.

5) Writing the relevant stuff out to files/db.

6) Reading it and putting it all in a fancy UI for easy review/analysis.

The killer for me is (2). I could use some guidance on a good, possibly commercial, screen capture SDK. I would also welcome the news that my whole problem already has a solution. And of course any thoughts on the overall idea would also be great.

Thanks.
