FEST-Swing 1.2a4: GUI Testing Made Easy

by Alex Ruiz on January 19, 2010

I’m proud to announce the release of FEST-Swing 1.2a4!

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 fourth and last alpha release planned for version 1.2. This new release includes a good number of bug fixes, new features and improvements. After this release, we’ll have a beta one that will include bug fixes and low-risk improvements only, followed by a release candidate.
