In order to find the right framework, it needed to put some criteria in our research to determine : \textit{What is a good GUI automated testing framework ?}
After research, to answer this question, we need : \textit{"Flexibility, Capacity to work with the other framework already implemented and to be updatable"}
But this criterias are not enougth to make a good and stable framework. \newline
Then, for it, the team added the following criteria :
\begin{itemize}
\item\textbf{Work on all operating systems} : to work on MacOS, Linux and Windows
\item\textbf{Good Documentation} : to have a simple, understable documentation wioth possibly tutorials or others things
\item\textbf{Support Java}
\item\textbf{Support Swing}
\item\textbf{Open Source} : and possibly have a simple meaning to see the source
\item\textbf{Test Automation} : Unit test with a robot
\item\textbf{Regression Testing} : re-running functional/non-functional test to ensure that previously developed and tested software still performas
\item\textbf{Flexible}
\item\textbf{Record and Replay capabilities} : to record and replay the test
\item\textbf{Living Framework} : Updated regulary
\item\textbf{Work with other frameworks}
\end{itemize}
After a few weeks of research, it had been decided to choose the framework named \textbf{AssertJ}
\subsection{AssertJ}
AssertJ is a project developed by Joel Costigliola, which purpose is to rovides a fluent interface for writing assertions.
AssertJ is a fork of a previous project named FEST Assert. Its main goal is to improve test code readability and make maintenance of tests easier.
AssertJ works like a Java Library and support also Swing. In order to create the automated tests sequence, we use a part of the library, named AssertJ Swing.
AssertJ Swing is based on JDK standard types assertions and can be used with either JUnit or TestNG.
The current verion of AssertJ Swing use in this project is the 3.8.0, which works with Java 8 or higher.
