Is there any open-source free tool for automated UI testing for Mac OS X (Cocoa) apps? So far I've seen commercial tools such as [Squish] and [EggPlant]. The only free tools I've read about are using UIAutomation or Automator. Does anyone have any experience with these tools? any other options I should consider?

I created an open source Python package that uses the Apple Accessibility API among others to create a classic GUI automation library, giving you visibility into and interaction with Cocoa GUIs. PyATOM home page and GitHub repo

Have a look at http://sikuli.org/ - that lets you automize your OS X GUI tests (for free).

AppleScript is another option for simple ui simulation.

(no, you do not need to create a scripting definition to perform basic tasks)
