Hi Krishnakant:

Each script is going to be unique, so it's really quite hard for us to
prepare you for each situation you may run into. The best thing you can
do is become familiar with the AT-SPI and learning how to analyze AT-SPI
traffic.  I wrote something up just a few days ago to help you get
started.  I really recommend reading this, digging in, and getting your
hands dirty:
