Pitfalls of Functional Testing of Java GUI Applications (and How to Overcome Them)

Functional testing of Java GUI applications remains a complex and often underestimated challenge. From the fragmented history of Java GUI toolkits (AWT, Swing, JavaFX, SWT, and more) to today’s diverse ecosystem of desktop platforms, architectures, and multi-user environments. In this webinar, you’ll learn: -Why functional testing of Java UIs is uniquely difficult and how toolkit fragmentation, platform diversity, and evolving system complexity play into that. -The key pitfalls of traditional testing approaches, including manual testing and limited automation tools. -How a single tool solution delivers scalable, cross-platform, object-based test automation that covers Java GUIs across Windows, macOS, Linux (x86 & ARM), mobile, and web – resulting in a single test data set. -How a centralized result analysis tool can visualize those single test data sets to bring long-term test visibility and traceability into multi-config setups. Plus: a live demo of BDD-driven testing with Squish and centralized result analysis in Test Center providing you with a concrete example of how to go from scenario to execution to insights, allowing you to tackle defects in your software much more efficiently.
