Hi,
Disclaimer: I've been contributing to SWTBot for several years, despite I try to be objective, it's very likely that I do not fully succeed at it; so my answers here shouldn't be the only one to consider in your decision!

There is now a Test Recorder that allows to get most of the test code recorded and generated according to user actions, and there are a few fixes and improvement added here and there; but it's still a Java API to refer to widgets and interacts with them in a "human-like" way. See https://www.eclipsecon.org/europe2016/sites/default/files/slides/Introduction%20to%20Functional%20Testing%20with%20SWTBot%20and%20Maven-Tycho.pdf for more details. SWTBot per-se has more or less always been stable, but the fact is that it's not always easy to write tests working in a stable manner (mostly because stability requires properly dealing with waits and timeouts). The nice thing is that it integrates very seamlessly in PDE and Tycho, as it's just an API. Another pro for SWTBot is that it has more users than RCPTT at Eclipse.org I believe (such as EGi and TraceCompass). I can't tell for RCPTT. I've never used it and none of the project I've worked on has been using it. I've had good feedback about it by Obeo's people using them on some Modeling project, but that's about all. Also, last time I heard about it, it seemed to be on another "grain" than SWTBot, as it introduced a DSL, a specific runner and was not integrated with Tycho. But I imagine some things have changed since them. HTH. |
