PyUseCase 3.3 : GUI testing for PyGTK and Tkinter
Hi all, Tkinter support has matured a fair amount with support added for three new widget types (Canvas, Checkbutton and Listbox). There has also been work done on the PyGTK side with a couple of new widget types supported (TextView, SpinButton) and quite a few bugfixes. See ChangeLog in the download for full details. Regards, Geoff Bache A bit more detail: PyUseCase is an unconventional GUI testing tool for PyGTK and Tkinter, along with a framework for testing Python GUIs in general. Instead of recording GUI mechanics directly, it asks the user for descriptive names and hence builds up a "domain language" along with a "UI map file" that translates this language into actions on the current GUI widgets. The point is to reduce coupling, allow very expressive tests, and ensure that GUI changes mean changing the UI map file but not all the tests. Instead of an "assertion" mechanism, it auto-generates a log of the GUI appearance and changes to it. The point is then to use that as a baseline for text-based testing, using e.g. TextTest. It also includes support for instrumenting code so that "waits" can be recorded, making it far easier for a tester to record correctly synchronized tests without having to explicitly plan for this.
