Ketan's Musings

It is amazing how a talk at EclipseCon can get higher visibility to an otherwise unknown and unheard of project.

SWTBot.org was taking less than 10MB of web page views before, it now takes about 100MB, even before my talk is done with. I’ll let the graphs talk for themselves:

I’m sitting here at EclipseCon, and the coolest thing about this is getting to meet a lot of interesting people around.

A few folks spoke to me about SWTBot, and asked for a few feature requests. I promptly added those, and checked them into SVN, and my CruiseControl instance at ThoughtWorks says green. Hurray yet another build that can be pushed into production.

I’m wondering why the fashion police is all quiet about it. I heard there were some awards last evening

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.
