Open source tool for both Java & Web based appl.
      #581081 - 07/20/09 10:56 PM

Hi,

I am looking for an open source automation tool for GUI testing.
I have 2 applications to be tested. One is eclipse based and the other one is a web based application.

I need one tool that can be used for automation of GUI testing of both these applications(and of course has to be open source)

I searched the forum topics but could not find my answer.

VNCRobot can do it (disclaimer: I'm author of this software). As it is an image based testing tool, it is pretty good at testing of a mixture of applications of different technologies. It is written in pure Java which is another plus for you (better integration with your project). In addition the tool is going to provide a Java Test API soon, meaning that you may implement test scripts in Java and make them even part of your project code (such as JUnit tests).

The price you however pay is that you won't have access to Java objects and HTML elements. As long as you are OK with it, it will work fine. If you can't live with it, combine two other tools for web and desktop app testing instead.

The tool is currently distributed as freeware but I'm going to open source the new 2.0 version under GPL in August. Give it a chance if you can afford to wait for a couple of weeks.

roopamachaiah, I believe you may be confusing "open source" and "free."

If you mean "free" then please say so.

If you are testing on top windows OS you might want to try QAliber, it's a free open source.
