Suggestions for testing a Swing/Java webstart application?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1664 of 1683 |
Hi,

Does anyone have a sugguestion of a good tool to automate testing on a
Swing/ Java webstart application?

Our application is both server and client based, the client downloads
using Java Webstart.
So we are looking for a way to record actions from the GUI which we'd
then modify to run as automated tests.

Has anyone done something similar and have pointers to good tools?

TIA
Alastair
