Marathon 1.1.3

Java tool featuring dock-able windows, cut&paste operations in the editors and tabbed editing facilities. Marathon is a tool for recording, replaying, refactoring test cases for Java GUI programs developed using Swing components. Marathon consists of an editor (that too a tabbed editor), a recorder and a player.
Marathon records the test cases in an easy to read and maintain format using Jython, a Java port of Python. You can choose whether you want the test cases to be run through the UI or in batch mode.
Benefit from the improvements to Marathon, like dock-able windows, cut&paste operations in the editors and of course, tabbed editing facilities.
Main features:
- Configurable desktop
Use the docking features to configure Marathon desktop the way you want it.
- Syntax aware editor
Marathon uses jedit-syntax package. All Jython code is color coded for easy readability. You can choose a font from the preferences dialog to use it in the editor.
- Output pane
The Output pane of Marathon shows all output from the application under test. The output is color coded, so you know which is coming on the standard error stream and which from output stream.
- Online or batch run - you decide
The Marathon test scripts can be executed either through the GUI or from a batch file. With little effort, you can integrate Marathon into your integration platform.
- Test reports
- Marathon create test reports in multiple formats - XML, Text or HTML. Give the option while running in batch mode, come back and check the report for errors. From JUnit panel in Marathon, choose test report option and Marathon shows a cleanly formatted report in your browser for the current test run.
- Modules for modularizing test scripts
- Marathon supports the concept of Modules, ability to create a library of snippets from the recorded scripts. These snippets can be used while recording new test cases and can be shared across test cases. You can use any Jython function in the snippets (and for that matter in the test scripts).
- Fixtures for proper creation and destruction of test environment
A fixture consists of two functions - setup & teardown. These functions are executed at the beginning of a test and at the end. Use setup to setup the environment for a particular test (like copying a file, setting up a database). teardown can be used to reset the work environment. teardown is executed even when the setup fails.
System requirements:
- JDK 1.2+
