FEST-Swing 1.2a3: GUI Testing Made Easy

We are proud to announce the release of FEST-Swing 1.2a3!

FEST-Swing is a Java library that provides a fluent interface for functional Swing GUI testing. This library provides an easy-to-use API that makes creation and maintenance of GUI tests easy.

This is the third alpha release planned for version 1.2. This new release includes a good number of bug fixes, new features and improvements. We also improved our test suite: we reorganized our tests and the test suite grew from 2,677 to 3,405 tests! (with 100% success rate, of course!)

Release notes

New Feature

• [FEST-7] – Expand and collapse JTree node (issue 178.) Thanks to Cephei.
• [FEST-31] – Overload methods that take String with a version that takes a regular expression pattern (issue 156.) Thanks to Juhos Csaba-Zsolt.

  For example, the following code listing uses a regular expression pattern specified as a String:

  dialog.optionPane().requireErrorMessage()
                     .requireMessage("Please enter your .*");

  the regular expression pattern can be also specified as a pre-compiled java.util.regex.Pattern:

  Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("Please enter your .*");
  dialog.optionPane().requireErrorMessage()
                     .requireMessage(pattern);

• [FEST-43] – Add selectedRow() to TableCell and TableCellByColumnName (issue 226.) Thanks to Ken Geis.
