Test Applications
The following table shows the nine basic test applications we developed for our experiments on GUI performance testing. They are divided into three categories: four tests for keyboard and mouse input, four widget tests, and one timing test. Each test consists of a minimal Java GUI application that exposes the specific feature we want to test.
| Application | Description | Source Code |
|---|---|---|
| TextField | Keyboard input in JTextField | TextFieldTestFrame.java |
| MouseMove | Mouse movements | MouseMoveTestFrame.java |
| MouseDrag | Mouse drags (while button pressed) | MouseDragTestFrame.java |
| MouseClick | Mouse button clicks | MouseClickTestFrame.java |
| Component | Detection of component events | ComponentEventTestFrame.java |
| Scrolling | Scrolling a JTextArea | ScrollingTestFrame.java |
| FileDialog | Navigating a directory tree in JFileChooser | FileDialogTestFrame.java |
| ComboBox | Selecting item in JComboBox popup | HeavyComboBoxTestFrame.java |
| Timing | Synchronization of clicks with timer | TimerTestFrame.java |
