Marthon User Guide

Marthon User Guide: "Marathon is a general purpose tool for both running and authoring acceptance tests geared at the applications developed using Java and Swing. Included with marathon is a rich suite of components to help you interact with your application at the User Interface Level (GUI).

Marathon tests are scripted using Jython, a 100% pure java implementation of the programming language Python -- the emphasis being on a extremely simple, highly readable syntax that customers, analysts, testers and developers can all be comfortable with. But don't let the simplicity fool you. Python is a mature, full-featured programming language, so testers and developers don't need to sacrafice anything in terms of the power and creativity with which they can express their tests.

To aid with the regression testing of existing applications, Marathon comes bundled with a recorder to capture events as you use and interact with your application. These events are then converted into a valid Marathon test which can subsequently be played back."
