Re: software application assessment tools

I think the question is about software - not web based - applications. 
Software, as in Windows or Java or what ever platform - other than Web 
applications that run in a browser.  This is probably outside the normal 
topic of this list, but none the less related to accessibility.

On the Windows platform, other than ATs (such as Jaws scripting functions) 
and using people who have disabilities to do usability testing, I use 
tools such as:
- MSAA utilities such as Inspect Objects, and Event monitor 
        see 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msaa/msaaccgd_62yb.asp
but I don't consider any of these "automated", they don't crawl like some 
of the Web assessment tools mentioned.
