AutoIt is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting.
It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages.
Unlike Selenium it is used for Desktop Automation rather than Web Automation.
It is a powerful tool and it just not automate desktop windows, button & form, it automates mouse movements & keystrokes too.
If you are looking to automate workflows that go from browser to desktop (say a windows popup) and back in Selenium (web),then a little AutoIt is in order.
An AutoIt automation script can be converted into a compressed, stand-alone executable which can be run on computers that do not have the AutoIt interpreter installed.
