Hi Mohit,
It's been a while since I've done any gui testing with JFCUnit but there
should be a way to access each component by it's name property (you have
set the name properties right?). I'd like, if I may, to suggest an
alternative approach which I found to work really well on the last Swing
project I developed.
First of all, have a read of "The Humble Dialog Box" here:
http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/articles/TheHumbleDialogBox.pdf
Following on from this, treat your view purely as a presentation layer
(have a look at the Model-View-Presentation pattern) which acts as a
proxy to the real graphical components. If you store next to no logic
within your view layer there's little need to bother testing this layer
as it should just be:
a) passing values onto graphical components, e.g. text into text
fields, values onto spinners etc.
b) passing events back to the controller, e.g. button presses into
use case actions
As stated in the above article, if your view layer is thin enough, you
can avoid testing it altogether and avoid the pain of doing GUI unit
testing.
Shout if you need anymore help with this.

Subject: [java-gui-testing] How to access GUI Component?
Hi,
I am new to JUnit and i am using the JFCUnit for the swing
application. I have an application in which i have various gui
components but these controls are defined as local in the method
related to the control. How do i access these local components for
writing the test case. Please suggest me.
Thanks
Mohit
