Automate GUI testing with TestNG-Abbot

TestNG-Abbot is a testing framework that breathes new life into testing GUI components. This tutorial walks you through the hardest part of GUI testing with TestNG-Abbot, which is understanding how a user scenario will play out. Once you've got that down, you'll find it surprisingly easy to isolate GUI components and then verify them using the framework's handy fixture objects.

User interfaces built with Swing, AWT, and the like have traditionally presented a challenge to developer testing because of the following factors:

• The complexity of the underlying graphics framework
• The coupling of presentation and business logic within a GUI
• The lack of intuitive automated testing frameworks

Of course, the first two factors are nothing new -- graphical frameworks are complex by nature and adding business functionality to a GUI application has always posed a barrier to testing. On the other hand, a number of handy frameworks have popped up over the last few years that actually facilitate testing of GUIs.
