Abbot
Abbot is a framework for testing Java GUIs. It lets you launch an application or GUI component, play back user actions on it, and examine its state. Tests may be coded or scripted. The editor supports recording user actions into a script, exploring the component hierarchy, running the script, and other features you'd expect from a script editor. Test scripts are JUnit extensions.

Recent commentsGreat application!
I've been looking for a Java GUI tester for awhile now and I do believe that Abbot has great potential in becoming a robust testing engine for Java. Abbot also has potential for becoming a tutorial builder. The developer has been responsive and helpful. Definitely check out Abbot if you've got a GUI on your Java app!
