Automated Java UI testing

[sethuster]

Investigate a means to drive Automated Desktop User Interface level tests using Java.

Would be nice to be able to drive UI tests in Java for Windows, OSX and Java based applications. I would settle for some way to drive OSX and Java based applications, and leave Windows UI to Golem.Purple.

Abbot - http://abbot.sourceforge.net/doc/overview.shtml - Seems similar to TestStack.White, meaning that it seems to search the entire application for a specific component, and then matches search criteria on that component before trying to interact with it.

UISpec4J - http://www.uispec4j.org/ - Looks like this one allows for easier component interaction. However the tests need to have direct access to the source code of the application under test.

Fest - https://code.google.com/p/fest/ - Seems like a good alternative. Briefly read some documents and it seems like we can define locators and not need access to source code to build and run tests.
