A company I am doing some performance testing work for uses QTP (Quick Test Pro). They want to run some of these scripts and get measurements. I installed the application on my laptop, got a copy of their test scripts, and tried running them. They failed and when I talked to their test lead, he asked me if I was using a laptop. He had me use the Java object inspection tool in the program and it showed a window with a title bar and another window inside of it. It is supposed to show a Java object hierarchy but it didn't. He said that they know of the problem and that it only happens on laptops for them.
If you are using a laptop, perhaps using a desktop will resolve the problem. If it does, then at least you are closer to identifying the issue and maybe can find a work around. 2009/6/25 Robin <[email protected]> > > Yep, Eclipse works fine. > > Swing does supposedly support accessibility although obviously this > takes a bit more work with there being no native components involved. > The JavaDoc shows various swing components implementing Accessible. > It's one of those things I'd sort of expect to work out of the box, if > it doesn't it kind of shoots swing in the foot for any serious desktop > development.
