Ketan's Musings

I just made new release of SWTBot – 0.2.0.

Some features:

• A recorder API — now you can record SWTBot scripts.
• Better SWTBot integration in eclipse — now you can run tests within eclipse.
• More API — now you can use more SWT controls using an even richer API.

For more details, you can read up on the release notes here.

I’ve held back on this post for quite a while now my visa was pending all this while, now that that’s out of the way –

I’ll be speaking at EclipseCon about SWT/Eclipse testing, and lessons learnt along the way.

The lack of a good functional testing tool about a year ago, and given that there’s no problem in ‘writing yet another calculator‘ I decided to roll out my own over a few weekends

SWTBot is a functional testing tool for SWT applications, that also works for eclipse plugins, and work is still underway. I would be talking about my experiences in dealing with the various functional testing tools, the various pain points of functional testing for SWT and where SWTBot compares to these.

See you at EclipseCon.

I just started my adventure with rails a few nights ago. Figured that Active Scaffold based controllers do something that is different from the default controllers generated by the scaffold generator.

For one all controller tests broke when I moved to active scaffold. Here’s a blog post that talks about testing active scaffold based controllers.

I’d like to announce SWTBot a functional testing tool for SWT.

Here is a quick list of features supported by SWTBot.

Here’s yet another sneak preview into SWTBot.

This time SWTBot makes a profound statement “Hello World“, to demonstrate what SWTBot is able to do. Click here to view full screen.

SWTBot also runs on Linux, although the screencasts are all recorded in Windows. Click here, in case you wish to look at the script that executes this.
