SWTBot is an open-source Java based UI/functional testing tool for testing SWT, Eclipse and GEF based applications. It provides APIs that are simple to read and write. The APIs also hide the complexities involved with SWT and Eclipse. SWTBot also provides its own set of assertions that are useful for SWT. You can also use your own assertion framework with SWTBot. SWTBot integrates with Eclipse PDE, Eclipse headless testing framework, Ant and Tycho, so it's easy to use in your IDE and Headless Builds (as part of a CI job for example). SWTBot can run on all platforms that SWT runs on. Very few other testing tools provide such a wide variety of platforms.

Features

SWTBot is a no-hassle testing tool for Eclipse apps and easy to use for your entire team. Thanks to SWTBot’s clear-cut approach to testing, novices and power users alike will enjoy using it. And if you haven’t moved to SWTBot yet, now is the time.
SWTBot can integrate very well within the IDE and testing frameworks like JUnit on Java, or Cucumber on JRuby making it very suitable for writing tests using a scripting language.
SWTBot provides APIs that are simple to read and write.
The APIs also hide the complexities involved with SWT and Eclipse. This makes it suitable for UI/functional testing by everyone, not just developers.
SWTBot also provides its own set of assertions that are useful for SWT. You can also use your own assertion framework with SWTBot. SWTBot can record and playback tests and integrates with Eclipse, and also provides for ant tasks so that you can run your builds from within CruiseControl or any other CI tool that you use.
SWTBot can run on all platforms that SWT runs on.

Getting Started

Since SWTBot runs on a non-UI thread, all your code using PlatformUI.getWorkbench() will generally result with a NullPointerException, since PlatformUI.getWorkbench() returns null in non-UI threads.

If you really need to invoke or execute code that needs UI-thread (such as opening an editor without simulating click on New and so on), you can use Display.getDefault().syncExec() to wrap the piece of code that requires UI-thread in your tests:

@Test
public void testDiagram() throws ExecutionException {
	// part of test that requires UI-thread
	Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable() {
		public void run() {
			try {
				new NewProcessCommandHandler().execute(null); // requires UI-thread since it is gonna invoke PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
			} catch (Exception ex) {
				ex.printStackTrace();
			}
		}
	});
 
	// Normal SWTBot execution
	SWTBotEditor botEditor = bot.activeEditor();
	SWTBotGefEditor gmfEditor = bot.gefEditor(botEditor.getTitle());
	gmfEditor.activateTool("Step");
	gmfEditor.mouseMoveLeftClick(200, 200);
