Any recommendations for GUI testing frameworks?

[aluxian]

So far, I've found these two:

• http://www.testplant.com/
• http://robotframework.org/

But I don't have any experience with them or desktop GUI testing frameworks in general. Does anyone test their Electron apps?

Our team uses SikuliX.

@Z-AX Thanks, do you have it running on a CI? Is your app open source? Are there any examples of using SikuliX with Electron?

Simple. Powerful. Works great.

@imlucas Do you know any open source apps using it? Or some examples? Thanks!

@imlucas which of the following is Spectron able to do?

• unit tests
• integration tests
• functional/end-to-end tests

[imlucas]

@aluxian spectron is for end-to-end tests (behind the scenes, it's using selenium).

For unit and integration tests, we use https://github.com/jprichardson/electron-mocha
