Hi
So I am trying my first "hands on" experience with TFUI using jemmy and the (extended)
example from Astels's "TDD: A Practical Guide," chapter 10. So what I have now, as far as I
can see is a GUI that gets built by jemmy! My GUI doesn't exist in that I don't have an app
to run with it's own GUI. Yet I have tests that build and test a GUI. Seems quite strange to
me.
I have yet to work through the other chapters, but I am guessing that I will slowly build the
same GUI for the app that I use jemmy to build/teardown. This seems like duplication. It
seems like a lot of extra work and the GUI tests will only be valid if I build the app's GUI in
the same way that I instruct jemmy to build it in the tests. I know there is the interface and
the MVC separation by passing the Editor/Controller the "view" and the "model" objects.
But somehow, this feels contrived as far as testing the GUI... I mean the app technically
has no GUI yet... do I really need to build/teardown a GUI to test the interface... isn't there
a way to build the app's actual GUI and test it !!!
Anyway, can someone explain the logic in this approach to me in a manner that will make
it less foreign and contrived to me?!
