GUI tests !

[atomikx]

Hi,

I have a big problem. In fact I have to test a java swing GUI for which
I haven't the source code. I have to write a class test that will
detect the GUI and proceed the tests on it.

I have tried to do that with Jemmy, I mean I have simply create a test
class with a JFrameOperator (without parameters so that it could detect
the first GUI launched) but it doesn't work. (I launch my test class
under eclipse, then I run my GUI ... and the test does not detect it).

So maybe I'm doing something wrong ?
or maybe I'm not using the good tool ?

If could suggest me a way to do that it would be really nice !

thanks

Dear sir.

As I've replied to you on the internal alias, more information is  
needed than you provided.

Please read this list of things, which would help us to help you.

You can try abbot or marathon. Both support recording testcases and for most
purposes you do not need the source.

I haven't tried Jemmy...but I have used Costello (
http://abbot.sourceforge.net <http://abbot.sourceforge.net>   ) to test
existing GUIs. It is really easy to use and fast. The potential downside
is that the recorded interactions with the GUI are stored in XML, which
can make code modularization/refactoring not so easy.

I hope that helps :)

Cheers,
Alex.
