Testing of Swing applications in all forms and combinations
  • QF-Test supports Java Swing since its release in 1999 and really knows all the challenges and pitfalls
  • All technology combinations (JavaFX, WebStart, Embeded Browser, WebSwing)
  • Robust test execution through "soft events" independent of system events
Hierarchy Icon
Full support of complex structures
  • High test stability due to clean event synchronization
  • Intelligent component recognition on hierarchy level, independent of geometric arrangements
Laptop Icon
Tests on all platforms

With QF-Test Java Swing / AWT applications can be tested cross-platform on:

  • Windows
  • Linux
  • macOS
API Icon
Access to the entire Java Swing API

The following scripting languages allow full access to objects of the Java Swing application under test:

  • Jython
  • Groovy
  • JavaScript

"The support of various Swing GUI elements, including complex elements such as tables, trees, etc., is very good. For requirements going beyond this, QF-Test offers the possibility to extend the functionality individually via various interfaces (using Groovy or Jython as script language). These extensions integrate seamlessly into the clear and well thought-out operating concept of QF-Test.

QF-Test is robust, even local test runs cannot be disturbed by parallel work. For the integration into a CI system, in our case Jenkins is used, QF-Test can be operated in batch mode.

QF-Test has extensive documentation, questions are answered extremely quickly by the very competent and courteous support team!"

Java Swing - quo vadis Oracle?

  • Oracle will continue to develop Swing as the core of Java SE technology across all supported releases.
  • The Java Swing GUI toolkit is and will remain part of Java SE 8, which will be supported at least until December 2030.
  • It is also included as the Java Swing module java.desktop.jmod in Java 11, which Oracle will support until September 2026.
