Easy GUI Testing with FEST

Abstract

Testing GUIs is essential to make applications safer and more robust. GUI development has been slow to include automated testing as a core practice, mainly because writing tests for GUIs is difficult. We will explore several recommendations and practices that can greatly simplify development and testing of Java Swing applications. This session introduces FEST (Fixtures for Easy Software Testing), an open source library that provides an easy-to-use API in a "fluent interface" style and some other handy features that can make creation and maintenance of GUI tests easy.
