#10296 — How to set up automatic GUI JUnit test?

Hi:
We have a JAVA GUI program. The program is already finished, but we
want to set up one or two JUnit tests for it. Ideally, I hope this
JUnit test can record my action: click Button A, click Button B, enter
some words in a field, then click Button "Run". Then compare the files
in output/ directory against the bench mark files.

I am completely new to GUI JUnit test, even though I have used JUnit
test for many years. I have googled and seen a few tools, but I am
unclear if they can record my action like above after reading their
user manuals. I am looking for free tools.

Thank you very much.

One approach is to record a Selenium script, save it as Java "Selenese"
commands, and wrap those commands in a JUnit test method. JUnit setup
and teardown handle the establishment of the Selenium environment.

Something like this
(http://qtp-help.blogspot.com/2009/04/selenium-with-junit.html) will
give you the gist of it.

In your test method, after the Selenese, you can do your filesystem checks.

Thank you very, very much. It looks a great tool for my task. I will
study it.

Just for other people's reference, I also found another tool, called
"Marathon"(http://www.marathontesting.com/). I am studying it now too.

I am so glad there are a few free tools available.
