GUI Tool for Windows and Linux OS

[itrevolution_testing]

Hi All,

I am new to this group. I found lot of topics which are very helpful
for ppl like me.

We are performing GUI Testing for Java Swing Application. Can anyone
let me know the information about the GUI Automation tool which works
on both Windows and Linux OS. I came to know about Eggplant but it
runs on MAC OS. Is there any alternative.

Thanks in advance

Hi Kranthi,

 

What are you attempting to achieve from your testing?  My personal
experiences with testing gui's in the past has been that it's slow and
painful.  If you're using an MVC architecture, have a read of "The
Humble Dialog Box" (google) which explains how to slice your view layer
thin and dumb enough that you can skip automatically testing it.

Hi Kranthi,

This website, http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javapedia/TestingGUIApplications , has a comprehensive list of GUI testing tools.

If you are looking for an easy way to create programmatic tests for Swing GUIs, I would recommend FEST. You can find it at http://code.google.com/p/fest/

(Disclaimer: I'm of the creators of FEST)

Cheers,
-Alex.
