Re: [java-gui-testing] Suggestions for testing a Swing/Java webstart application?

Hi,
From  a testing point of view what you're going to test is a java
application. Java Webstart is just a deployment method.
so any tool to test java/Swing application will be ok.
It also depends on if you want a free or commercial product.
For a free solution, you may have a look at Marathon/Abbot for
the tests themselves and XStudio (http://www.xqual.com) or
Salome TMF for test management.
Eric.

PS: For the test themselves, I would recommend NOT using recorders for the final scripts. They always provide poor quality code.

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
