Jameleon is a data-driven automated testing tool that is easily extensible via plug-ins. Features of applications are automated in Java and tied together independently in XML, creating self-documenting automated test cases.

This is a milestone(beta) release and includes 31 bug fixes/features, including a re-factor of the configuration files.

We were able to consolidate Environment.properties and jameleon-gui.properties into a single configuration file named "jameleon.conf". This file now exists in the base of the jameleon-test-suite directory. We also added a new configuration wizard in GUI. This release _will_ break everyone unless they read the changes report (http://jameleon.sourceforge.net/changes-report.html).

Jameleon is an automated testing framework that can be easily used by technical and non-technical users alike. One of the main concepts behind Jameleon is to create a group of keywords or tags that represent different screens of an application. All of the logic required to automate each particular screen can be defined in Java and mapped to these keywords. The keywords can then be organized with different data sets to form test scripts without requiring an in-depth knowledge of how the application works. The test scripts are then used to automate testing and to generate manual test case documentation. ... read more

This is purely a bug fix and minor feature release.

The following bugs were fixed:

JAMELEON CORE:
1245907 - Param values are not cleared out properly
N/A - When using the stop execution button frequently,
sometimes, the GUI gets in a state where the test case
doesn't fully execute and dies unexpectedly. This is an
ongoing bug, but this fix is believed to have stabilized

There have been a lot of changes in the last year. Below is a short list of changes:

1. We separated plug-ins from the main codebase to help promote the creation of other plug-ins
2. Created an plug-in that controls IE through the
jiffie library.
3. Created a 3270 plug-in based around the commercial library, Jagacy.
4. Added a much more complete GUI where
a script can be viewed, executed, debugged
and the documentation can be view. I also
fixed several bugs in the GUI.
5. Added postconditions and preconditions.
6. Fixed several reporting issues.
7. Added a sql data driven tag.
8. CVS files can now be commented.
9. Completely revamped the site and documentation.
I also added some getting started sections.... read more

Jameleon is an automated testing tool that separates applications into features and allows those features to be tied together independently, creating test cases. These automated test cases can then be data-driven and executed against different environments. The goal is to create an automated testing tool that can be used for the enterprise. A UI that ties a series of features to a test case, generating both the test script and the test case documentation is in the works.... read more

In order for Jameleon to reach it's full potential, Jameleon needs more talent with different opinions.
If you have always wanted to be part of a software project that will make a big impact on the world, now is the time!

Jameleon will change the way people think about testing and I am currently looking for someone to help document, someone to help with the main user interface (Swing), a project manager, and someone to help make the framework even better. ... read more
