We use and like Selenium to test our web user interfaces. Now we need to test a native Windows program and are looking for a similar tool. Something that can record a session to an editable script that can be replayed to execute the test. I've seen vague references to Spy++ and UI Automation Verify but nothing that looks close to what I'm looking for. Am I missing it or doesn't such a product exist? Open source, like Selenium, would be great but this is important enough we'd pay for the right tool. Any suggestions?

    Explore WinRunner, TestComplete, Silk test, QTP. Most should support desktop applications as well. – d-live Mar 09 '11 at 21:21

We ended up with Win32:GuiTest for Perl. It doesn't record but it does play nicely.

THere are a large number of automated testing tools that can be used to drive windows interfaces: Microsoft Test Manager, Quick Test Pro from HP as well as open source solutions such as White from Codeplex

You can write your own custom code. I would suggest you look at below article for WCF, WPF, Web Services Testing
