Instantiations updates Java GUI design and test products

By Jeff Feinman

October 23, 2009 — Eclipse-based commercial software company Instantiations has revamped two of its Java GUI design and test products to help developers more easily automate recording and parse data.

Instantiations has added code generation capabilities to version 7.2 of WindowBuilder Pro, its Java GUI designer. WindowBuilder Pro 7.2, released on Wednesday, brings better data binding for its SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) Designer so developers can more easily tie their user interface to an underlying data store. It also has better interoperability with the JFace UI toolkit compared with previous versions of the software, according to Instantiations executives.

“[WindowBuilder Pro] is now able to parse an even wider array of custom user coding patterns,” said Eric Clayberg, senior vice president of product development for Instantiations. “Almost any hand-written GUI code can now be parsed, rendered and bi-directionally edited as of this latest release.”

WindowBuilder Pro costs US$399 per developer.

WindowTester Pro 4.0, the company’s Java test generator, brings recording improvements such as better widget handling, according to Instantiations. Those widgets include pull-down menus and hyperlinks. Developers can now specify within the Swing Java widget kit test conditions such as ensuring certain buttons are enabled.

Also new in WindowTester Pro 4.0 is an API called WizardPageLocator that allows assertions to be made about wizard components. WindowTester Pro is $1,249 per developer.

“WindowTester Version 4.0’s updated recording features make it easier for developers to quickly define their tests,” said Dan Rubel, Instantiations’ CTO and cofounder. “Essentially, WindowTester observes…and generates tests. This release's improvements make it smarter to generate the right test.”
