Automated Functional Testing for Java-Swing

This book presents a practical and concrete approach to the challenging topic of Automated Functional Testing of software, in particular for software developed using the Java-Swing framework. The test automation envisaged in this work is that required for project-based Quality Assurance, a particularly challenging context due to time pressures. The test automation theme is firstly placed firmly within the overall QA activity on a typical project, prior to describing some of the usual reasons why automation fails and how the presented pattern of solution addresses these failures. Also included are two custom applications illustrating real test automation challenges - and solutions.
