Automated Testing Recorder for NatTable? [message #1709405]

Hi all,

We are heavily relying on NatTable in our RCP product and are presently evaluating appropriate tools for automated testing. In particular, we are looking for recorders that allow for recording and replaying test cases for the RCP UI.

RCPTT looked promising but has no support for NatTable presently (according to the developers, it is planned for a future release, though).
Also the recorder of SWTBot does not support NatTable (and is unlikely to do so in the future).

Hence, we are a somewhat on the loose here.
Can anyone provide us with ideas or experiences on UI test recording tools that support also the NatTable?

Thanks and best,
MP

There is only a German article I know linked on our website that shows testing possibilities with SWTBot and NatTable: https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=articles

Thanks, Dirk.
However, the article in question mainly deals with explicitely writing SWTBot Unit tests for NatTable based widgets, but not with recording.
We already have implemented a lot of the first kind of tests, but are missing the ability for recording and automatically replaying complete end user work flows.
