How can I unit test a GUI?

Question

The calculations in my code are well-tested, but because there is so much GUI code, my overall code coverage is lower than I\'d like. Are there any guidelines on unit-testin

Answer 1

You can use JFCUnit to test your GUI, but graphics can be more challenging. I have on a couple of occasions taken snapshots of my GUI and automatically compared it to a previous version. While this doesn't provide an actual test, it does alert you if an automatic build fails to produce the expected output.
