Swing testing frameworks ?

[Jan Goyvaerts]

Does somebody in here has practical experience with a Swing testing framework that actually does work ? 

I was thinking about FEST, but I'm not quite sure it's still active. Is it ?

TIA !

I've had good experience with Jemmy. Although it's a generated code
dogs breakfast underneath, it worked fine last time I was in Swing,
probably 4 years ago now.

Also check out WindowLicker. I haven't tried it, but it's written by
Nat Pryce of JMock and GOOS fame, so has promise.

The FEST project is still alive, but the Swing module (which I've never used) hasn't seen much action in a while. Much like Swing itself, so maybe that's not really a problem.

As a big fan of Assert and Reflect, I'm not sure what they do really needs a lot of constant updates, anyway.

I had some success with FEST but also some problems having it run on a Windows CI server.  And running the tests locally was irritating (unless done overnight or over lunch).

I recommend setting component names for use with FEST otherwise you'll go mad writing weird matchers.

I've enjoyed using UISpec4j[1]. It allowed writing very readable tests. Last release Dec 2010, so not sure how active the project is.
