Hello,
I want to use Ranorex for the testing of Java Swing applications. However, I can't find any documentation regarding Java Swing. Could you please give me some information where I can find a tutorial for getting started with test automation for Swing applications?
Thank you!

Re: Java Swing Documentation
Hello Sean,
thank you! However, the first link (https://www.ranorex.com/java-test-automation/) is not very helpful for me, as it mainly lists the supported Java technologies.
Do you have anything more "technical" for me regarding Ranorex and Java? For example, how to use Ranorex to test a (runnable) JAR file? Something like a step-by-step tutorial for Ranorex for Java applications?

Re: Java Swing Documentation
Hi,
I'm afraid, there is no any step-by-step guide, how to test Java-based apps. Generally speaking, it should be possible to run and test Java apps as any other application, hence there is not required an extra Java-specific documentation. You should be able to execute jar file, with Run Application command, either by directly calling jar file or via Java.exe and jar file as a parameter.
Are you experiencing any problem, regarding testing your Java-based app with Ranorex?

Re: Java Swing Documentation
Dear Pavel,
thank you for your tips! I'll try it that way.
No, so far I'm not experiencing any problems. I was just wondering whether there are any best-practices regarding the testing of Java applications with Ranorex before starting to develop tests and realizing that I've done everything wrong/inefficiently all the time
