Functionalities: Java UI testing, may be used with both scripts and compiled code. Lets you programmatically drive UI components, and allows you to easily launch, explore and control an application. It provides basic component-level events upon which more complex tester objects can be built. In the absence of a specific tester object for a given component, the events provided by the Robot class are sufficient to reconstruct any user actions. A ComponentTestFixture is provided for testing GUI components and groups of components directly from Java code. This fixture extends TestCase, so you can manually write unit tests using any of the facilities of the framework.
