Hi all,

PyUseCase now includes support for SWT/Eclipse RCP, using Jython and SWTBot.
This is alongside earlier support for wxPython, Tkinter and PyGTK.
There are also a
fair few enhancements to the "shortcut" mechanism for test refactoring.

Full details are in the ChangeLog in the download.

Regards,
Geoff Bache

A bit more detail:

PyUseCase is an unconventional GUI testing tool for PyGTK, Tkinter,
wxPython and SWT
along with a framework for testing Python GUIs in general.

Instead of recording GUI mechanics directly, it asks the user for
descriptive names and hence builds up a "domain language" along with a
"UI map file" that translates this language into actions on the
current GUI widgets. The point is to reduce coupling, allow very
expressive tests, and ensure that GUI changes mean changing the UI map
file but not all the tests.

Instead of an "assertion" mechanism, it auto-generates a log of the
GUI appearance and changes to it. The point is then to use that as a
baseline for text-based testing, using TextTest.

It also includes support for instrumenting code so that "waits" can be
recorded, making it far easier for a tester to record correctly
synchronized tests without having to explicitly plan for this.
