Supporting script recording and playing in JRuby and Jython

We are happy to announce 2.0 stream of releases for Marathon.

Marathon is a GUI test tool that allows you to play and record scripts against a Java Swing UI application. It is written in Java, and uses Python and Ruby as its scripting language (the emphasis being on an extremely simple, readable syntax that customers/testers/analysts feel comfortable with). Marathon includes a recorder, editor, player, and debugger to simplify working with test scripts.


Marathon

Features

  1. Supports Jython 2.2.1, Jython 2.5 and JRuby 1.1.2 to record scripts
  2. Integrated debugger with abilities to set breakpoints and stepping through the code
  3. A script console with which the running application can be inspected while recording and playback
  4. A powerful integrated editor that supports syntax highlighting, code folding
  5. Test runners that can be used through the UI or batch

Thanks. Note that Jython 2.5 itself is in alpha stages - go a little slow :)

It would be great if you guys could integrate SWT support, so that one can test Eclipse RCP applications that have a mix of new SWT composites and legacy Swing panels.

We will have a commercial release based on eclipse soon. We will surely consider at a later time supporting SWT.

We are using SWT to develop Eclipse plugins, and Squish for Java to test the GUIs.

It would be great if you could support SWT. I will definitely have a try then.

We will surely consider supporting SWT. Though I did not use Squish myself, I heard quite a bit of positive things about it. Good luck.

Hi,

I am using marathon to test Swing application, but I am also developing a project using SWT , and need to know if SWT is supported yet, and if not is there any expected time for that?
