Jubula Functional Testing Tool

Jubula provides automated functional GUI testing for Java and HTML applications. It is aimed at teams who want their automated tests to be written by test experts from the user perspective, without requiring any coding effort. Jubula tests incorporate best practices from software development to ensure long-term maintainability of the automated tests.

Jubula will also try to be an anchor point for a broader testing scope including requirements analysis, code coverage of Java applications and test metrics.

Comprehensive documentation, cheat sheets and example projects are available to help you get started. If you'd like training, consulting, support or coaching for Jubula and/or help with your test process, our team of test experts will be happy to help you.

Jubula was contributed by BREDEX GmbH, who also develop GUIdancer. GUIdancer is based on the Jubula core and offers additional features for productivity and comfort in testing, as well as additional support for .NET and iOS applications.
