Are there any tools or programs exist for testing X applications
"automatically" so that the user doesn't need to actually click
on buttons and type in the input? In other words, user can specify
a sequence of actions (mouse presses, key presses, etc.) in some 
way and the tool will use it to run the application.

I heard that X has something called the "Input Synthesis Extension"
which can do similar things. Can someone give me more detail about
it?

Thanks in advance for any information.
