Are there any free alternatives to Silktest?

Does anyone know if there are any (ideally free) alternatives to SilkTest for automated GUI application testing?

[Edit] This is a Windows-only GUI written in C++/CLI if that makes a difference.

+3  A: 

selenium might be useful

OpenSTA

Autonet

Squish

GNU/Linux Desktop (GUI Application) Testing Project (GNU LDTP)

Have the look on this http://www.opensourcetesting.org . U can find some thing over there

Selenium appears to be a web-app tester?

A: 

For Windows app, you can use pywinauto. It doesn't have the capability to record user actions like Silk but I think that it is a nice alternative for Windows applications. Python seems to me a much better choice than the 4Test language.
