There are also Automaton, which is similar to TestFX and supports Swing as well, and MavinFX, which is especially useful to assert Properties.
TestFX allows simple and clean testing without much boiler-plate code. When we took JavaFX into consideration for a migration of our geographical information system to Swing to first thing we looked for was a testing framework. With a background with the FEST-Swing testing framework TestFX convinced us, because even testing new dialogs looked a lot easier than with FEST. I can't say much about Squish. It seems that it follows an approach with a recorder for user interactions which I guess won't allow creation of test-cases before the actual production code is written. --Benjamin On Sat, Mar 28, 2015 at 8:45 PM, Tom Eugelink <t...@tbee.org> wrote: > JFXtras uses TestFX (3), very pleasant, highly recommended. > > > > On 28-3-2015 09:13, Adam Granger wrote: > >> Following migration to JavaFX I've been looking into a unit testing... >> Possible solutions >> >> - "home brew" - just code up a few basic methods like "find a node with >> given selector within given timeout", then build tests using those using >> JUnit / Mockito.
