test automation programs

Hy,

I want to do some automation test to an application who is very complex, i want to test the GUI is SWING and functionality.
I find out some Java program from implement(Free program :)):
swingunit.dev.java.net
uispec4j.org
abbot.sourceforge.net/doc/overview.shtml

My questions are:

Does someone use them before?Who is the most easy let's say to implement?
Do you know and other program?Some graphic program to have the option of record/playback?Or that are only to buy?

Thanks

Hi,

I also want to find a tool to test an application which is based on MVC framework.
I find abbot may be useful to us and it can record/playback users' actions and generate a xml type script.

However, it may not be easy to maintain the script and may be much harder to do it when any changes on the GUI.

for functionality you could use junit / dd-steps framework.
DD-steps is spring based and is very easy.

For GUI you can make use QTP (The best one). But the problem is you need to learn vb-script.

Else the best tool for GUI would be IBM-RFT; requires plain java coding.

Hello,

Thanks for your answers.
Meanwhile I find out another testing tool who has a record/playback option.
When you record your actions it make a Jython script.
This tool is good and let's say simple and it has a graphic interface.
Link for others who are interesting:

Marathon


Have a nice day

IBM-RFT works exactly the same way as u mentioned in your tool...only difference is IBM-RFT works in java. other than this it also creates scripts dynamically(java code)...

Hy,

Yes you are right, but I'm looking for a free tool :)
I think I forget to mention that :P, my mistake.

Thanks for your time,
Have a nice weekend

Hi,

For these two free tools Abbot and Marathon, which is the better for functional testing or regression testing?

Please share your ideas.

Thanks
Have a nice weekend.

Hy,

I don't know, because I didn't use Abbot, initial I want it.
I use other like uispec4j.
And you can look to marathon, it's simple and have good documentation and a very active forum.

Hope I was useful, if not please ask me.

Regards

hy,

Thanks so much for your time!
