I just figured out today that there is such a tool I was looking for, and it is
called SWT Bot.
Let me explain what we are looking for. We search for a tool to test RCP
applications (GUI) in a similiar way like with Selenium for web GUIs. We use
the latter with good success.
We already discovered that we share the same values, which means to code the
GUI tests as Java programs and use an open source framework for it. By the way,
Netbeans Jemmy (for testing Swing GUIs) commits itself to the same philosophy.
SWT Bot seems to be in an early phase. So there are some questions:
1. Will it be developed continously, improved, maintained, expanded, updated
etc.?
2. Can an RCP GUI application be tested with it automatically? I mean, is
everything possible, like accessing every widget for test automation in
basically the same way a flesh and blood user can do?
I think this project can become a great one, popular and helpful to developers
nearly as JUnit.
