Automated user testing with times

Question

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.

Answer 1

Link to a previous answer of mine with links to other posts on the same topic. But there are quite a few commercial and open source gui automation solutions out there.

Update based on terminal server comment:

Unfortunately if your are dealing with a terminal server app, the terminal part of the client ui is going to be seen by most automation tools as a single bitmap.

However, you may be able to try automation tools like CitraTest or Eggplant or Sikuli, which are image-based, rather than object-based.
