  Tutorial: Developing Swing Components Using Simulators

Developing Swing Components Using Simulators In this article, you'll learn about a technique for developing encapsulated components. You'll also learn about how to test graphical parts of your application that JUnit can't, such as layouts and other visua

Tutorial Details:

What are Simulators?
If you ever find yourself starting your full application just to test a component that's part of it, you're wasting precious development time. You have to wait for the application to initialize each time you make a change. Even though it may seem like a small amount of time, this can really add up. There can also be development problems trying to integrate a component before it's ready to go live.

There are a number of reasons we might do this. One reason is that unit tests can help test the functionality of a component, but you need to start the application to test its appearance. Another reason may be that you are using a GUI builder and need to test the component with real data. Yet another reason might be that you aren't using a GUI builder at all (I don't) and need to test layouts and other visual settings during development.
