Bark and CubicTest
by arnljot on Jan.10, 2007, under java
Bjarte Østervold from Norskregnesentral and Christian Schwarz from BEKK was external speakers on last nights “Fagkveld” seminar at Avenir.
They spoke of Bark and CubicTest respectively, and both presentations was really interesting. Although I must admit that CubicTest with it’s graphical editor for web GUI testing really tickles my fancy.
CubicTest is an EclipseIDE plug-in that lets a user create and edit tests graphically, and then run them using Watir. A new exporter feature is now written into CubicTest so even though Watir seems the preferred way to run tests, a Selenium exporter may also be written.
Christian and I spoke of a few things, mostly how it would be interesting to run the Watir ruby scripts in JRuby inside CubicTest to get a tighter integration allowing the ruby scripts to directly report results to CubicTest. And we also discussed how exporters are made since I might be interested in writing a JWebUnit exporter considering this article about integration of Jetty and JWebUnit.

If you would like to write a JWebUnit plugin to CubicTest I would be happy to help you. I guess Christian wuold be happy to help you out as well.
We’ve got a lot of things to do on the main part of CubicTest so writing plugins for every web test framework out there takes a lot of time.
Writing a plugin is for Cubic is actually quite easy!
