testing

I am attempting to test user interaction with an off the shelf product.

The current process is to run through a manual script and record how long certain processes take to populate data, it may populate a datagrid, a tree, a list box, etc...
It will also need to be able record how long it takes to generate a pdf report.
We do not require extremely accurate time just to the nearest second or less than a second.

I need to know if there is a simple Automated testing product that will handle the above criteria.

When I have class Foo and class FooTest, autotest should see FooTest and say, "Hey, this test corresponds to the unit Foo, so I'll look for changes there and re-run tests when changes occur." And that works, however... When I have Foo::Bar… >>> More
