Abbot – A Better ’Bot A GUI testing framework for Swing Works seamlessly with Junit Uses some Junit 3 features Can be used to create Unit tests for GUI components Functional tests for existing GUI apps Open source http://abbot.sourceforge.net/ CIS software design and testing 9/22/2018

Goals of the Abbot framework Reliable reproduction of user input High-level semantic actions Scripted control of actions Loose component bindings CIS software design and testing 9/22/2018

Launch the script editor. http://abbot.sourceforge.net/doc/download.shtml Unzip to a folder called: abbot-1.0.2 Type command: abbot CIS software design and testing 9/22/2018

Create a new script File->New Script For example, Launch defines a class and method to invoke to launch your GUI.  Terminate disposes of all GUI components generated by the launch step. For example, invoke the main(String[] args) method in class example.MyCode  with no arguments, CIS software design and testing 9/22/2018

Save scripts: \abbot-1.0.2\codescripts CIS software design and testing 9/22/2018

Test->Launch  display the GUI under test. The example code will display a frame with a variety of sample components. CIS software design and testing 9/22/2018

Record some user actions. Capture->All Actions (or shift+F2), perform some user actions in the GUI. If you haven't already launched the GUI, the editor will launch it for you. The editor will detect as many high-level semantic events as it can and insert raw mouse motion and button events for what it doesn't recognize. When you get the GUI to a point that you want to make some tests of its state, press shift+F2 or activate the editor window to suspend recording. The recording so far will be inserted into the script as a sequence of steps. CIS software design and testing 9/22/2018

All captured activities Move Resize Select tabs close CIS software design and testing 9/22/2018

Replay: click Run CIS software design and testing 9/22/2018

Add some assertions Move the mouse over the component in your GUI for which you'd like to add a test and press shift+F1. That component will be selected in the component browser tree in the bottom half of the script editor. The hierarchy view presents the full hierarchy of components that have been created. Once you've selected a component, its associated properties will appear in the pane to the right. Select a property ("Text" on a JButton, for instance), Click the Assert equals button to insert an assertion into the test. Repeat as necessary for other components, or press shift+F2 to continue recording actions. Note that if a component you'd like to test is within a modal dialog, you'll need to explicitly add a reference withalt+shift+F1 and add the assertion after the dialog has been dismissed.
