A testing tool for Vaadin applications

Abstract

Testing is an important part of software development process. To test huge amount of code with a reasonable amount of effort automated testing is needed. This work presents Vaadin Testbench - a testing tool for Vaadin applications. The tool facilitates creation of such tests that simulate user actions on a Web application. The thesis starts by describing architecture of the Vaadin framework, focusing on essential parts for creating the Vaadin testing tool. The comparison with other testing tools, such as Selenium, shows the importance of creating Vaadin Testbench. Finally, the thesis describes the development process of Vaadin Testbench 4.0.0 and shows advantages it provides to testing of Vaadin applications.
