Fox Runner is a testing and automation tool written in VFP for VFP. http://www.cal.de/d/prod_foxrunner1.html
English Version here - http://www.cal.de/e/prod_foxrunner1.html

Overview document in English at http://www.cal.de/cal_download/FoxRunner3_Overview.doc
Works with VFP Versions 6 through 9

It has three parts:

• Scripting Scripting includes a script recorder and a script runner that enables you to record mouse clicks and data input while you work with your application and to run the recorded (and may be edited) scripts later on for test of the application's user interface, auto demos, tutorials and so on.
  
• Test Code support The Test Code technique, about which I've written an article for the Dec 1999 FoxPro Advisor, is best for unit-testing of your non-interactive class methods.
  
• Automatic generation of test data Data generation enables you to automatically generate random or meaningful data for perfomance tests or testing of the database constraints.

At VFP conference (November 1999) in Frankfurt Germany we were shown this tool. It is written in VFP for VFP. It looks like a very cool product with lots of potential.-- Steven Black

I have yet to hear of anyone that has used Fox Runner? Looking for some happy or unhappy customers. Jim Blackburn

I swapped e-mail with Manfred Ratzmann (product developer) last month. They are getting ready to roll out a new version which will support object discovery and value comparison. When they roll out this version, I intend to purchase a copy. I'll update this topic when I get it. Marty Smith 7/12/02
