Bredex GmbH has announced that version 2.0 of GUIdancer, the automated GUI test tool, will be released towards the end of this year. The tool has been extended to cover RCP, SWT and HTML applications as well as Swing. Tests for these toolkits are created without programming, scripts or code. Specification of flexible, reusable tests can begin before the application is ready and can keep up with frequent iterations – making GUIdancer particularly well-suited to test-driven-development and agile processes. GUIdancer runs as a standalone application or as an Eclipse plugin.
GUIdancer is expanding. Now in its second year on the market, the upcoming release of the Eclipse-based tool supports testing on Java (Swing, SWT, RCP) and HTML applica-tions. The new release, scheduled for December 2007 is a cost-effective way of testing GUI applications.
“Our recent experiences at the Eclipse Summit really reinforced the value of GUIdancer in modern development processes” explained Hans-J. Brede, Managing Director. “Specifically, GUIdancer offers a unique advantage in agile processes because tests are easy to specify yet do not require the application under test to be ready. Test creation begins early and continues alongside development”.
Tests with GUIdancer can be created early and reused extensively. Project experience has shown that maintenance efforts are minimum, even after changes in the GUI of an application. Based on a “building-block” approach, tests are conceptually easy to create, but powerful in action. No details must be “hard-coded” in tests – GUIdancer has a “one test fits all” approach whereby a single specification can be used to test an application with different data, languages, components and even implementations with different toolkits.
Hans-J. Brede stressed the importance of early and continuous testing: “We are of the opinion that test-driven-development is also possible for GUI tests. There is everything to be gained by testing early and often, and GUIdancer is the only tool for the job”.
