Re: Fw: [platform-dev] GUI Tests

Response forwarded from Doug Pollock:

We run automated test suites using JUnit.
 In the case of Platform UI, our tests use the public APIs of the
classes we are testing.  There is (almost) no manipulation of mouse
or keyboard events.  We have investigated Abbot in the past, but have
deferred any commitment to using it in the future.  We have also experimented
with using the AWT Robot class, which is currently used in a few of the
key bindings tests.

In general, however, we do not use GUI-specific
testing tools.

Hello List, 
        Was this question answered? If so can it be
repeated (or point me to where I can find the history of the list) as I
must have missed it.

Hello List,

I wondering, how the Eclipse Project is testing its GUIs and their
functionality. If I'm right, all nightly builds get "gui tested".
Is any Tool used? If
so what Tool is used? How does the process work? Are any documents
available?

Best regards,
Hans
