Description Victor Roldan Betancort CLA 2008-12-02 06:11:39 EST 
As the UI part of the CDO component grows, we would like to define mechanisms to test it, and include these in the automatic build.

jUnit doesn't look like the right way to do testing, so we would probably need UI testing framework (i.e., SWTBot, Bredex GUIDancer, FrogLogic Squish...).

Also, we need to know is if the build server can run UI tests.

Possible build server constraints have to be discussed!
Comment 2 Victor Roldan Betancort CLA 2008-12-02 06:37:06 EST 
Our goal is to test the following UI components:

- ViewPart (Session View and other future Views)
- Editor (CDOEditor, generated enhaced CDO Editors...)
- Preferences Page
- Widgets (Audit slider)
- Toolbar buttons
- Contributed context menu actions to other views.

and ideally

- GMF Diagram editors (as soon as we have support for it)

This would help us polishing UI components and make it more stable for end-user consumption.

It's so tempting to look at fancy technologies before defining own requirements :P
