Hello, Some time ago I've read in Danese Cooper's blog that Sun doesn't have compatibility tests for Swing/AWT. I think it means that there are no such tests in other companies or projects as well. We can see if our implementation is compatible with Sun's only by launching some application on both and comparing.
Of course it's difficult to test view automatically - that button with some text really shows the text and looks nice or that green is green or that grid table is a grid table. What can be automatically tested is model: - if one of button's properties changed, others are changed accordingly - if a component changes state, listeners are notified properly - repaint() and revalidate() called where needed, etc. Maybe some of these scenarios can be tested even in headless mode - without displaying anything. What do you think - does this testing approach make sense? Is there a need in such tests to ensure confidence that our libraries are compatible? Or we'll just try different applications and solve problems as they arise? -- Regards, Anton Luht, Intel Middleware Products Division --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
