Abstract
At XP2004, two of the authors presented an “agile record/ replay” approach[1] to GUI Acceptance Testing based on recording high level use-cases. In the past year we have run a project to attempt to write tests using this approach for three different Carmen Systems products.[2]
During this project we have met new challenges presented by multi-threaded GUIs and web GUIs, and in the process we have produced JUseCase[5] – a Java Swing equivalent of PyUseCase[5], presented last year, and for web application testing we produced WebUseCase[6] – a browser-like use-case recorder based on JUseCase. Via these use-case recorders, we have found that we can fit both these challenges comfortably into our existing approach.
