Jameleon

http://jameleon.sourceforge.net/
Description:
Jameleon is a plug-in driven automated testing tool that separates
applications into features and allows those features to be tied together
independently, creating test cases. Test cases can be data-driven and
executed against different environments and test case docs are generated
from the test cases. The goal is to create an automated testing tool that
can be used for the enterprise. A UI that ties a series of features to a
test case, generating both the test script and the test case documentation
is in the works.

Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF)

The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is an open source,
multi-platform, multi-language framework designed around the idea of
reusable components, called services (such as process invocation,
resource management, logging, and monitoring). STAF removes the tedium
of building an automation infrastructure, thus enabling you to focus on
building your automation solution. STAX is an execution engine which
can help you thoroughly automate the distribution, execution, and results
analysis of your testcases. STAX builds on top of three existing technologies,
STAF, XML, and Python, to place great automation power in the hands of testers.
STAX also provides a powerful GUI monitoring application which allows
you to interact with and monitor the progress of your jobs.
Requirement:Windows, Linux, Solaris, AS/400, AIX, HP-UX, Irix
