Java - Simplify Software Testing using FEST
By admin on Jun 7, 2008 in Java, open source
FEST (Fixtures for Easy Software Testing) is a collection of APIs, released under the Apache 2.0 license, which mission is to simplify software testing.
As quoted from the website, it consists of the following modules that can be used with JUnit and TestNG.
Swing Module
- DSL-oriented API for functional Swing GUI testing
- Simulation of user-generated events and reliable GUI component lookup
- Easy-to-use and powerful API that simplifies creation and maintenance of Swing GUI functional tests
- Ability to take screenshots of failed GUI tests and embed them in a HTML test report
Assertion Module
- Flexible’ or ‘fluent’ assertions
- Assertions for
Objects,Strings, arrays (including primitives), primitives,Collections, images and more! - Assertions can be extended using custom conditions or custom assertion classes
Reflection Module
- ‘Fluent interface’ for simplifying usage of reflection.
Mocks Module
- Eliminates code duplication when using mock objects
- Clearly separates mock expectations from code to test, improving code readability
