As I have mentioned previously we have been playing with Abbot and Costello internally in order to automate testing of some of our UI. When you start working Abbot/Costello there is a steep learning curve with people not sure that they will ever get there tests run more than once. (Some of the reasons I have talked about before.) Once you get the hang of things though setting up tests becomes much easier with recording tests becoming a normal part of the working day.
I figured it would be usefully to publish a viewlet showing abbot testing some relatively meaty UI. So here is a recording of current smoke tests for JDeveloper web services tooling which were created in Costello and run using Abbot.
There are a few glitches in that some context menu are not recorded and the playback speed is slower than the tests actually run on my machine. In general though this gives a fair representation of a test run on my machine. Also if you look carefully you will notice some bugs that the tests are not picking up; but I will leave that as an exercise for the reader to figure out what is wrong.
