gwt-test-utils is a Java testing framework for GWT applications. It provides a simple way to test your GWT User Interfaces without GWTTestCase or any servlet container instance ! This means you are able to use any Java tool without restriction : JUnit, reflection, Easymock, Mockito, etc.

If you want to write fast tests which will still deal with your GWT view layout and simulate browser events on your widgets easily, you really should considere this framework. The Getting Started page would be a good way to start ;-)

Features

• GWT code unit testing with small execution time (no hosted mode / browser launched in the background)
• Simulation for browser's events (click, blur, change, ...)
• Mocks handling using Mockito or EasyMock
• Standard maven-surefire-plugin support for testing with Maven
• Support for GWT + Spring application testing
• Support for GWT + Guice application testing
• Support for GWT + GIN application testing
• Support for ext-GWT library
• Complexe use-case testing using CSV-based scenarios
• Extensibility through the use of custom patchers

Documentation

Whether you want to...

• Use gwt-test-utils to test your GWT application
• Get your custom widget library working on a standard JVM to make it compatible with the framework

... you'll find everything you need in the User Guide.

Roadmap

Here is the next features we are working on, ordered by priority (which is not frozen) :

• Support for Cell widgets
• Support for Editors
• Support for RequestFactory
• Nice support for GWT overlay types

In addition, we are daily improving gwt-test-utils existing features. To perfect it, we need your feedback !

For example, ext-GWT support is still in a early phase and we need you to provide some simple unit tests to validate all GXT features are working.
