ActiveStory: Enhanced x TT = User Interface Test Driven Development

ActiveStory: Enhanced (ASE) and TT are tools created by the Agile Software Engineering Group at the University of Calgary.
ActiveStory is a tool for designing and performing usability testing on an application in a manner that is inline with Agile principles. Designers can sketch UIs, add interactions and export the design to the Internet via a built in web Wizard of Oz system.
TT enables testing of user interfaces in a robust, lightweight manner. It works by monitoring UIAutomation events raised during exploratory testing and turning these into editable scripts, which can be compiled into executable C# test files.
These two tools can be used in conjunction to develop a prototype UI and click through this prototype to generate UI tests. These tests can then be run on the actual software under development. In other words, used together, AS:E x TT = UITDD
