Hi, I am very new to Ruby. We have a Delphi (Borland Delphi version 5) application that we would like to automate. Can Ruby or Apollo or Phi help in automation of this application? Can I have links to any kind of documentation that would help me do this task? Quick response is very much appreciated. Thanks very much. Good Day. ---

Hi, do you have an OLE Binding for your application? If not, I would recommend Autohotkey[1] for the job. We use it to automate an third party medical application. Works fine … g, Daniel [1] [http://www.autohotkey.com/](http://www.autohotkey.com/) ---

I do Delphi too. You do not give much in the way of specifics but you can always get them working together with sockets. ---

It also depends on how open your code isn’t it? Very are considering learning Ruby and then making it work with Delphi. What would be your suggestion in this case? Also, we as testers have no knowledge of Delphi. I am trying to assess how easy or hard it would be?
