Selenium Web Driver compatible with Applet Java Windows ?

[mandar joshi]

Hello Guys

I am doing the testing on an application where when I click on the link in the browser then it opens all the Applet Java Windows.

For the applet or Java Windows there is no Html in background and it is similar like NotePad windows i can say.

We can use the AutoIT or Sekuli or Robit class for small windows but dont know are they support Applet Java Windows and i do not think it is feasible when we used to test the different fields on that window using these tools.

Happy to hear the thoughts.

Many Thanks.

Hi!

Verifying an applet using Selenium will not work. Selenium interacts
with the browser. The browser doesn't know about what the applet is
doing after it ha been launched.

If you need to test the applet, I would suggest looking after tools
for testing graphical java applications.

I would also consider skipping the graphic testing and notice that
Oracle are removing the support for Applets in a foreseeable future.
