Been working on this on the side since 2018, used it to test Dear ImGui itself & catch regressions.

@rokups

and I added many tests over time. Opening it for people to add tests to their own app/tools. If you can control e.g. your game/engine via tools, you can now automate them.

Please note the Test Suite is MIT licensed but Test Engine Library is custom open-source license (TL;DR; free for individuals, open-source, education and small companies; paid for large companies). Income aimed at sustaining main Dear ImGui work which stays and will stay MIT.

@ocornut

love this, thank you! though... the license wouldn't allow us, a demogroup, to use it? none of the categories are us (not a natural person, not a legal entity, not releasing derivative code. just a handful of people doing their stuff.)

Consider that you can freely use it. I am going to look into possibly rewording the license to fix that (perhaps simply change "You are a natural person (not a legal entity);" to "You are not a legal entity") etc. Will gather possible other feedback before making an update.

Incredible. I have been looking forward to this feature for a long time (since I first saw it in one of your issues).

I like testing my stuff in CI but I could never figure out a way to do that for my projects that wasn't super janky. This looks super cool, thank you!!
