This is great. It's nice to hear that there are others interested in automated Swing testing.

At Atomic Object, we have been creating automated tests using a combination of FEST (http://code.google.com/p/fest) and Ruby helper methods wrapping functions specific to our application. For example, the Ruby 'play' method wraps the FEST operations needed to start our simulator (http://spin.atomicobject.com/2009/01/30/ruby-for-desktop-applications-yes-we-can). Likewise, 'reset' presses the appropriate buttons to reset the simulator.

We haven't published anything since our helpers are so tuned specific to our applications. Swinger looks like a great start to a highly reusable Swing testing harness.

Jemmy looks like an interesting library. Do you have any experience with FEST? It looks like Jemmy tries to be just a robot, whereas FEST provides finders along with a robot. Does this sound about right?

Hi guys,

I've just posted a small 30 sec video demoing Swinger, a JRuby-Cucumber step definition library for testing Java/Swing applications. Here's the link:

Anyone has the same need for testing Swing apps?

Demetrius
