Platform:

VNCRobot is a tool based on a VNC client.

It can control remote computers running a VNC server via the RFB protocol.

VNCRobot provides its own proprietary scripting language and a set of useful features allowing to program, verify and reproduce behavior of the remote computer and provide a comprehensive report, which makes it a powerful tool for automated testing of any software.
VNCRobot is a proprietary implementation of VNC viewer enhanced with additional functionality.

Apart from standard viewer functions it provides a scripting language which can simulate any user action and send the appropriate messages to the server.

For example, if you want to type a text on your server, you may type it in a standard way in the viewer or use a VNCRobot script command to type the text for you. There are commands for mouse moves, clicks and drags too.

You may also take screenshots of your desktop, check for desktop updates, perform image comparisons to verify result of your actions and many more.

These features allow you to write a script consisting of such commands and execute it repeatedly to reproduce a task, for example testing of a software product.

VNC Tool: DirectVNC
Version:	0.7.5
Type:	Client
Cost:	Free
Website:	adam-lilienthal.de
Platform:

DirectVNC is a client implementing the remote framebuffer protocol (rfb) which is used by VNC servers. If a VNC server is running on a machine you can connect to it using this client and have the contents of its display shown on your screen. Keyboard and mouse events are sent to the server, so you can basically control a VNC server remotely.

What makes DirectVNC different from other unix vnc clients is that it uses the linux framebuffer device through the DirectFB library which enables it to run on anything that has a framebuffer without the need for a running X server. This includes embedded devices. DirectFB even uses acceleration features of certain graphics cards.

DirectVNC basically provides a very thin VNC client for unix framebuffer systems.
