Windows, developed by Microsoft, is the world's most widely-used operating system. Over the years, there have been many improvements in the interface and utility of the system. Many software developers and computer technicians use Windows testing tools in order to see if performing various tasks in the operating system is feasible. There are a number of Windows testing tools available. - Apache JMeter is a Java desktop application that you can use in order to load test the functions and behavior of the system. Its main objective is to measure the computer's performance. This testing tool is compatible with Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000, as well as Solaris and Linux. Testing of the program can be for static and dynamic resources such as files, Java objects, databases, FTP servers and many more. Apache JMeter will simulate heavy loads on the server or network in order to analyze fully the performance of the Windows system in different conditions.
- Abbot is an open source program that helps programmers test the Java user interface of the Windows system. This tool is also applicable in testing scripts and compiling codes. Some of the features of the Abbot Java GUI application include the Robot -- the root of the testing system, the Component Location, Component References and Scripts. Other features are the GUI Test Fixture for testing GUI components that are in Java code, the Editor (Costello) which is a script editor that facilitates writing scripts and Recorders that allow high-level semantic information. This tool tester centers on the scripted control of actions and inspection, loose component bindings and high-level semantic actions.
- WindowTester Pro is a software development application that allows programmers to test programs that are rich in Java content. Some of the tools within the testing program include recording, test generation, playback of GUI interactions and code coverage. The program has a rich GUI test library that conceals the complex issues that result from GUI testing. This makes the results of testing easier to understand and read. WidnowTester has other versions including WindowTester SWT, WindowTester Swing and WindowTester Runner. The other versions contain only some of the features that are present in WindowTester Pro.
- Selenium is a testing suite that made for testing web applications in different operating systems. Some of the features of Selenium include recording and playback for tests, debug and set breakpoints, saving tests in different formats and intelligent field selection. Selenium works by recording and playing back tests from the browser. The testing exports to different programming languages including Java, Python, Ruby, PHP and more. Use the exported files on Windows in order to view and analyze the testing results.
