Sorry if it's a bit off-topic, but it may be interesting for people learning/using D.

I'm looking for a tool for black-box testing my chess engine. Since the inteface of my engine can be tested typically as a question-answer game, I thoght that DejaGnu would do the job. But the documentation of DejaGnu is quite poor, especially if one doesn't want to use it with autotools.

I could also use directly Expect/Tcl, or the Python variant of it, but these lack some of the features of DejaGnu.

Could anyone help me how to configure and use DejaGnu without autotools
 or
suggest any alternative?

Many thanks,
David
