But SWTBot requires a Window Manager. I also tend to prefer Xvfb since it is makes tests run faster; but the Xvnc Jenkins plugin is so easy to use that it makes me forget about performance issues ;) @Aaron: Mocking is cool, but keeping close to reality is better IMHO. Having test actually running SWT is not a big constraint and makes you very close from real use experience, giving very high value to your tests. @Xavier: “Normal” UI tests are OK with X11.

My reasoning is that UI tests shouldn't test SWT (let's assume that SWT has its own tests and works): They should just make sure they are using SWT correctly. Unfortunately, this isn't possible with the current SWT implementation because everything is either final, private or throws Exceptions when it's used by a mock test :-( A much better solution would be a mock implementation of SWT which allows to load mock fonts, open mock windows, etc: Most tests don’t actually need to render anything; it’s enough to know that certain rendering methods were called (with correct arguments).

Aurelien, I would like to know if you have any window manager installed on your server such as gtk, or is it just a plain old X11? If it's a plain old X11, it means that you can run UI test on cloudbees free dev@cloud, and that's great! Regards, Xavier I did the same that SeB.

I suppose that you can also use the Tip 1 to use it andit should have the same improvement on performance. Interested to have your feedback on this if you have time to try it. Regards, Hi,
