Use these Eclipse RCP Testing tools before your code goes to LIVE
Testing is most important part of any software development lifecycle. There are different type of testing required before Eclipse RCP tool is released to productions.
Eclipse RCP is very easy to test with the these testing tools:
UI Testing:
RCP Testing Tool
RCP Testing Tool is a project for GUI testing automation of Eclipse-based applications. RCPTT is fully aware about Eclipse Platform's internals, hiding this complexity from end users and allowing QA engineers to create highly reliable UI tests at great pace.
SWT Bot
SWTBot is an open-source Java based UI/functional testing tool for testing SWT, Eclipse and GEF based applications.
SWTBot provides APIs that are simple to read and write. The APIs also hide the complexities involved with SWT and Eclipse. This makes it suitable for UI/functional testing by everyone, not just developers. SWTBot also provides its own set of assertions that are useful for SWT. You can also use your own assertion framework with SWTBot.
Jubula
Eclipse Jubula is a new addition to the Eclipse universe. It's a functional UI testing tool that allows you to specify and run tests. Jubula consists of plug-ins for an IDE and a standalone RCP application.
Unit Testing
JUnit
JUnit 5 is the next generation of JUnit. The goal is to create an up-to-date foundation for developer-side testing on the JVM. This includes focusing on Java 8 and above, as well as enabling many different styles of testing.
Mockito
Tasty mocking framework for unit tests in Java.
Mockito is a mocking framework that tastes really good. It lets you write beautiful tests with a clean & simple API. Mockito doesn’t give you hangover because the tests are very readable and they produce clean verification errors.
Build Tool
Tycho
Tycho is focused on a Maven-centric, manifest-first approach to building Eclipse plug-ins, features, update sites, RCP applications and OSGi bundles. Tycho is a set of Maven plugins and extensions for building Eclipse plugins and OSGi bundles with Maven. Eclipse plugins and OSGi bundles have their own metadata for expressing dependencies, source folder locations, etc. that are normally found in a Maven POM. Tycho uses native metadata for Eclipse plugins and OSGi bundles and uses the POM to configure and drive the build. Tycho supports bundles, fragments, features, update site projects and RCP applications. Tycho also knows how to run JUnit test plugins using OSGi runtime and there is also support for sharing build results using Maven artifact repositories.
