Summary	0003788: Add support to NoesisInspector to allow automated testing
Description	The NoesisInspector provides a means to remotely connect to views for debugging purposes. Would it be possible to leverage this ability to implement a selenium-like framework - being able to connect to an application remotely, finding elements (such as controls, labels, text fields, etc.) and triggering commands on these elements from (say) a python script would be immensely beneficial for automated testing.

Platform	Any

There is another related ticket (0002389) requesting support for Windows Automation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/ui-automation/ It would definitely make sense to implement this at the Inspector level.
