I've just been asked this question by a student,
and I didn't really know the answer.
"How do you test the (visual) output of a GUI program?"
I suggested all sorts of things, from grabbing a Form and comparing it
with a stored Form to saving the Morph to a file and comparing the files,
but it all seems a bit vulnerable (user changes round/square corners
preference => all comparisons fail).
Is there a way of testing the visual output of a GUI program
that doesn't involve handcuffing a user to the desk to look?
