I work in a .net shop where we need to automate software testing.

We write ASP.net web apps, web services, windows services, scheduled console application. Back end for all these applications is SQL Server.

We would like to automate testing of any bug fixes, any where from web UI change to, middle tier .net code change to sql code change.

This tool would be used by programmers to do unit test and played back in different test environments to ensure that bug fix is test correctly in all the environments including the produciton environment.

This test would be executed by different teams such as QA, Build, and production site testers.

What tool or approach do you recommend?

What options are there for building automated tests for GUIs written in Java Swing? I'd like to test some GUIs which have been written using the NetBeans Swing GUI Builder, so something that works without requiring special tampering of the code under test would be ideal. >>> More
