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.

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

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.
