This facilitates starting a recording while modal dialogs are showing. <li>Allow component selection in the GUI under test using F1. Neither of these facilities will interfere with their handling by the code under test. <li>Refactored event recorder such that it doesn't dependon the rest of the framework. <li>Provide a ComponentReference ctor for use in hand-generated code. </ul> <h3>Bug Fixes</h3> <ul> <li>Fixed several capture bugs (0.8.1.1). <li>Fix a bunch of Windows XP failures. <li>Avoid a large class of application startup deadlocks caused by the application assuming the event thread has not yet started (which isn't the case when launching from the editor or within a suite of GUI tests). <li>Cleaned up boot class loading; explicitly check for classes in the boot path rather than depending on a package list to exclude from reloads. <li>Fix capture of some extraneous key modifiers. <li>Don't abort applications which call JFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation. <li>Ensure all frames are found when running applets. <li>Fix null package on some loaded classes. <li>Steps now move in and out of sequences properly. <li>Component Reference generation works with nested dialogs. </ul> <h2>Release 0.8.0 (021007)</h2> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Updated to work properly under Java 1.4. <li>Support for forked scripts. It is now possible to run a script in a separate VM while tracking its progress. Full exception/failure backtrace information is preserved and the script step execution is visible in the editor. This provides a solution for those cases where the reloading class loader is not sufficient to clean up after the code under test. <li>Support for image capture (arbitrary and component contents) and single pixel sampling. <li>Improved XML handling to preserve locale-specific character encodings. Using JDOM is a lot easier than xerces. <li>Improved editing of existing script steps. Custom GUI editors are provided instead of requiring raw XML editing. <li>Support for AWT menus (actions and recording). <li>Confirm script save before editor exit. <li>Support persistent script comments. <li>Provide a Web Start launch. </ul> <h3>Bug Fixes</h3> <ul> <li>Require complete method names for Action/Assert steps. <li>Repaint issues fixed under 1.4. <li>No more spewage when application under test exits from event dispatch. <li>Fixed popup menu recording bug for w32. <li>Scripts should work properly under ANT (fixed a classpath recursion bug when scanning ANT's embedded classpath). <li>Menus can now be properly used under OSX with useScreenMenuBar=true. </ul> <h2>Release 0.7.3 (020913)</h2> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Launch steps can be threaded, e.g. if your main method doesn't return in a timely fashion, or directly invokes something like Dialog.show that requires input. <li>Initial i18n support (please contribute your own locale!) <li>Initial JTree support. <li>Include source in base file release. </ul> <h3>Bug Fixes</h3> <ul> <li>Fix step insertion bugs when the code under test is not yet launched. <li>Fix editor self-test to work properly with dynamic class reloading. With reload support, the editor no longer needs to maintain context information. <li>More robust dynamic class loader (set delegate=false in Launch). <li>Recording now works on a threaded launch. <li>Fix applet sample html page. </ul> <h2>Release 0.7.2 (020830)</h2> <ul> <li>Include docs in base file release. <li>Reduce robot auto-delay times to speed up test playback; most significant effect can be seen in text playback. All tests, recordings, and actions are significantly more robust. <li>Fix rather annoying bug which caused recording to fail when closing a dialog. <li>Ensure recording failures don't drive the editor batty, and provide the failure information in bug report format. </ul> <h2>Release 0.7.1 (020826)</h2> <ul> <li>Added support for providing bug reporting information in exceptions, especially for failed recordings. <li>Robot after-event delay may now be set as a property, abbot.robot.auto_delay. <li>Dynamic class loader now uses the Class-Path from the manifest (if available) when loading jar files. <li>Added Frame/Dialog move/resize/iconify support (and tests). <li>Added JTabbedPane support (and tests). <li>Added class paths to jar files to facilitate launching (no longer need to set a long class path explicitly). <li>Fix resource loading from custom class paths (SwingSet2 now loads properly) <li>Default to non-reloading class loader. Fixed several issues when reloading is enabled. <li>Add JComboBox recorder, cleaned up JComboBoxTester (and tests). </ul> <h3>Known bugs</h3><br> Several recorder tests are known to fail on linux and w32. Some are timing-related and some are not.<br> <h2>Release 0.7 (020726)</h2> <ul> <li>Use a more robust component search mechanism using weighted propeties; store more attributes in auto-generated component references, but still work well with minimal hand-entered ones. <li>Launch application automatically when recording, if not already launched. <li>Allow classpath to be specified directly in the Launch step. <li>Use reloading class loader for launching classes. <li>Added support for applets under Sun's applet viewer, and an applet example (kelvinr). </ul> <h2>Release 0.6.2 (020627)</h2> <ul> <li>Added support for auto-formatting of dialogs and tooltips (TextFormat). <li>Fixed annoying drive A: bug on w32. <li>Added more recorder and tester tests, including a full test suite. <li>Improve launching of the GUI under test. <li>Many w32 event capture/playback bugfixes, especially popups and key capture. <li>Split editor code into model/view (onthemark,kgirard) <li>Added a filter for Component properties (jeffg). <li>Added scrolling action for JComponent (kgirard). <li>Changed menu structure for consistency (kgirard). <li>Added icons, accelerator keys, and mnemonics for most menu items (kgirard). </ul> <h2>Release 0.6.1 (020528)</h2> <ul> <li>Fix script paths for examples to fit new directory structure. <li>Fixed semantic recorder.

These have been run on OSX, w32, and linux x86. </ul> <h2>Release 0.6 (020522)</h2> <ul> <li>Support relative script paths for embedded scripts. <li>Added better support for capturing semantic events (SemanticRecorder). <li>Directly handle Drag & Drop semantic events (not done yet). <li>Better heuristics and debugging for component reference lookup. <li>Added tests for ComponentTester and ComponentRecorder classes. <li>Revised package hierarchy, since only a few classes have anything to do with JUnit. </ul> <h2>Release 0.5 (020416)</h2> <ul> <li>Added JComboBox actions (still need recorder support). <li>Added methods for documentation of ComponentTester actions (menus, arguments, icons, etc.). </ul> <h2>Release 0.4</h2> <ul> <li>Allow top-level script to continue even if sub-sequences fail. <li>Allow movement of individual script steps. <li>Failures are now colorized to explicitly highlight failed steps. <li>Event Stream recorder can parse more semantic events and eliminates unneeded events. <li>Added a cursor to the script editor table. </ul> <h2>Release 0.3 (2002/04/07)</h2> <ul> <li>Drag events are now captured in the Event Stream recorder. <li>ESC now cancels any recording in progress. <li>Added launch/terminate step for scripts so that scripts may be run independently of junit test cases/suites. It's also a lot easier to start from scratch now, no testsuite or testcase required. </ul> <h2>Release 0.2 (2002/04/03)</h2> <ul> <li>Allow regexp matches in string comparisons. <li>Component references are now specific to the current script context. <li>Added component hierarchy browser. <li>A new simple GUI component test suite example (FontChooser). <li>System.exit handling prevents an application under test from killing the editor. </ul> <h2>Release 0.1 (2002/03/22)</h2> Release for preliminary interface feedback.<p> </td> </tr> </table> </html> <!-- Local variables: eval: (add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp) time-stamp-start: "<meta name=\"date\" content=\"" time-stamp-format: "%:y-%02m-%02d" time-stamp-end: "\">" End: --> --- news.html DELETED --- --- NEW FILE: news.shtml --- <html> <head> <title>Abbot News</title> <meta name="authors" content="Timothy Wall"> <meta name="description" content="Latest Abbot news."> <meta name="date" content="2005-09-16"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"/> </head> <body> <table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="146" valign="top"> <!--#include virtual="/doc/topics.shtml" --> </td> <td> <div class=Section1> <p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><i><span style='color:lime'>A</span></i><i><span style='color:red'>b</span></i><i><span style='color:lime'>b</span>ot framework for automated testing of Java GUI components and programs</i><br> All materials Copyright © 2002-2005 <a href="mailto:twall_AT_users.sf.net">Timothy Wall</a>, All Rights Reserved</p> <p align=center style='text-align:center'>This version 1.0.0rc1 (050916)</p> <h2>NEWS</h2> <ul> <li><b>09/16/2005</b> 1.0.0rc1 AWT is out. <li><b>04/04/2005</b> French keymap, thanks jean Thieser. <li><b>02/22/2005</b> Fixtures are in. Get 'em hot from CVS. <li><b>01/24/2005</b> Added an example custom tester for the <a href=http://www.jgraph.com>JGraph</a> component. <li><b>12/29/2004</b> Thanks to N. Stargardt and kaz for German and Japanese keymaps, respectively. <li><b>12/06/2004</b> Please submit keymaps for non-US locales. Run abbot.tester.MapGenerator to generate a keymap for your locale. <li><b>11/11/2004</b> Getting closer to 1.0. Need to finish built-in fixtures, then it will go out. Unfortunately, I'm really busy with other things... <li><b>9/23/2004</b> Translations may use '&' to indicate mnemonics, e.g. &File (see <code> <a href=api/abbot/editor/widgets/Mnemonic.html#getMnemonic(java.lang.String)>abbot.editor.widgets.Mnemonic</a></code> for details). <li><b>9/11/2004</b> A keymap generator has been added to CVS and a custom keymap for de_CH (thanks to Christian Heldstab). Please submit keymaps for your locale if you're having difficulty generating certain characters with actionKeyStroke(). <li><b>7/27/2004</b> Use arbitrary Java expressions with the Expression Step.

Those SWT guys better hurry or they'll miss the 1.0 release :) <li><b>6/10/2004</b> I'm working on getting 0.12.3 out after ensuring self-tests pass. I'm not the only one that would like to see Jim Doyle's performance fix get applied soon. It'll make it into 0.12.4 (0.13?) for certain. <li><b>5/3/2004</b> Vincent Massol has contributed an Abbot plugin and Web Start script launcher (for testing Web Start apps). It is available from the Maven site at http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/abbot. <li><b>5/2/2004</b> Several books are now out that include some treatment of Abbot.

Use the "appletviewer" step instead of a launch step. <li><b>2/24/2004</b> Build version 0.12.0 now available. This is targeted towards hand-coded tests. <li><b>2/18/2004</b> Costello: the component browser has gotten a facelift, with custom component icons which make it a little easier to read the hierarchy. Component reference attributes are now editable in a table (instead of raw XML). Custom component icons will be automatically loaded if they're named the right thing in the right place, see abbot.editor.ComponentTreeIcons.java for details. <li><b>2/18/2004</b> abbot.finder.*: this new package provides a completely revamped ComponentFinder which is a whole lot easier to use than the old one. It is specifically designed for use in unit tests (the old one was designed for generic script access, and putting it to use in unit tests didn't really help anybody). <li><b>2/18/2004</b> Component references and lookup have been refactored significantly. <b>This may have some effect on existing scripts.</b> Instead of capturing a minimal set of attributes, references now store as many as possible. The "tag" attribute is now deprecated, replaced by an explicitly named attribute; if the tag was the component's title, the reference will now have an explicit "title" attribute. The <code>getTag()</code> method also caused a lot of unnecessary recursion during lookups. <li><b>2/18/2004</b> Web site reorganized.

Let's write a test for a component that hasn't been written yet (well, it has, but let's pretend). The component we want to write is a button with the following behavior:<p> <ul> <li>Points in one of four directions <li>Fires an event when pressed once <li>Fires continuous events when held down </ul> With this simple spec, we can outline a unit test for it:<p> <blockquote><code><pre> package example; import junit.extensions.abbot.*; import abbot.tester.*; // ComponentTestFixture automatically handles disposal of GUI components, // among (many) other things. Always use it when testing GUI components. public class ArrowButtonTest extends ComponentTestFixture { public ArrowButtonTest(String name) { super(name); } public static void main(String[] args) { TestHelper.runTests(args, ArrowButtonTest.class); } } </pre></code></blockquote> <p> We'll need to put the component into a frame for most tests, but there's already a "showFrame" method in the ComponentTestFixture that we inherit. That method puts a nice fat border around our component to make it visible, although that's not strictly necessary. We'll need a ComponentTester to play actions on our component, so add that to the setup:<p> <blockquote><code><pre> private ComponentTester tester; protected void setUp() { tester = new ComponentTester(); } protected void tearDown() { // Default JUnit test runner keeps references to Tests for its // lifetime, so TestCase fields won't be GC'd for the lifetime of the // runner. tester = null; } </pre></code></blockquote> <p> Now write the first test, which ensures that an action is fired when the button is clicked. <blockquote><code><pre> import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; ... private String clickType; public void testClick() { ActionListener al = new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) { clickType = ev.getActionCommand(); } }; ArrowButton left = new ArrowButton(ArrowButton.LEFT); ArrowButton right = new ArrowButton(ArrowButton.RIGHT); ArrowButton up = new ArrowButton(ArrowButton.UP); ArrowButton down = new ArrowButton(ArrowButton.DOWN); left.addActionListener(al); right.addActionListener(al); up.addActionListener(al); down.addActionListener(al); JPanel pane = new JPanel(); pane.add(left); pane.add(right); pane.add(up); pane.add(down); // ComponentTestFixture provides the frame showFrame(pane); clickType = null; tester.actionClick(left); assertEquals("Action failed (left)", ArrowButton.LEFT, clickType); clickType = null; tester.actionClick(right); assertEquals("Action failed (right)", ArrowButton.RIGHT, clickType); clickType = null; tester.actionClick(up); assertEquals("Action failed (up)", ArrowButton.UP, clickType); clickType = null; tester.actionClick(down); assertEquals("Action failed (down)", ArrowButton.DOWN, clickType); } </pre></code></blockquote> If we were writing the ArrowButton from scratch, we'd have identified by this test a few things that we need: <p> <ul> <li>A set of constants for the arrow direction. <li>An addActionListener method (and probably a remove as well). <li>A constructor that takes the direction as its only argument. </ul> Well, let's assume we went off and implemented those functions (this tuturial is one about testing GUI components, not unit testing or XP in general). After compiling, run the example.ArrowButtonTest class, and repeat the code/test/debug cycle until the test passes. <p> <blockquote><code><pre> java -Dabbot.robot.auto_delay=200 -cp classes example.ArrowButtonTest<br> </pre></code></blockquote> Note that the auto-delay setting is only there to prevent the test from running so fast you don't see it; normally you can omit it. <p> That leaves only the last bullet to test, repeated events when held down. <p> <blockquote><code><pre> private int count = 0; public void testRepeatedFire() { ArrowButton arrow = new ArrowButton(ArrowButton.LEFT); ActionListener al = new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) { ++count; } }; arrow.addActionListener(al); showFrame(arrow); Dimension size = arrow.getSize(); // Hold the button down for 5 seconds tester.mousePress(arrow); tester.actionDelay(5000); tester.mouseRelease(); assertTrue("Didn't get any repeated events", count > 1); } </pre></code></blockquote> Run the test case again, and (if you were writing ArrowButton from scratch) the second test would fail. Go back and implement the repeated fire function in example.ArrowButton, and debug and test until testRepeatedFire passes. Now you've increased your confidence that subsequent changes to ArrowButton which break the desired behavior will break the tests and you'll know about it. You've also just documented the expected behavior, which can mean the difference between someone understanding your code or someone using it incorrectly based on out-of-date or missing documentation. <p> See the full source code for the component <a href=../src/example/ArrowButton.java>example.ArrowButton<a>, and its TestCase, <a href=../src/example/ArrowButtonTest.java>example.ArrowButtonTest<a>.

See <a href=Tutorial-1.html>this tutorial</a> for an example of this approach.<p> Otherwise use scripts, since it lowers the complexity of the overall test and makes it much easier to edit. The script provides easy mnemonics for referenced components. It also abstracts the test into simple actions and assertions. These elements become much less obvious within a long test written entirely in Java code.<p> <a name=q102></a> <h3>How do I test an applet?</h3> Instead of a <code>Launch</code> step, use the <code>Appletviewer</code> step. It will run your applet under appletviewer. You can specify the <code>applet</code> tag attributes as well as parameters for the applet. <a name=q103></a> <h3>I don't see the functions I need.</h3> The <a href=api/abbot/script/Call.html>Call</a> step is very flexible; you can specify an arbitrary class and invoke a method on it, or you can invoke any method on an existing ComponentTester or Component. <p> Abbot is also very extensible. You can add custom <a href=api/abbot/script/Step.html>Step</a> classes that do exactly what you want, <a href=api/abbot/script/parsers/package.html>custom p... [truncated message content] |
