 <h1>Overview</h1>
 <p>Jubula provides automated functional GUI testing for Java and HTML
 applications. It is aimed at teams who want their automated tests to be written by
 test experts from the user perspective, without requiring any coding effort. Jubula
 tests incorporate best practices from software development to ensure long-term
 maintainablity of the automated tests.
 </p>
 Technical details
 <ul>
 <li>Supports Swing, SWT/RCP/GEF and HTML applications</li>
 <li>Platform independent testing on Windows, Linux/Unix and Mac</li>
 <li>Client-server architecture for distributed testing</li>
 <li>Heuristic object recognition</li>
 <li>Command line client for continuous integration</li>
 <li>Testing of multiple applications supported</li>
 <li>Context-sensitive help in client</li>
 <li>Projects stored in multi-user database</li>
 <li>Portability and version control via exports in XML format</li>
 </ul>

 <h1>Features</h1>
 This release of Jubula enables developers to view and develop GUI based
 tests. It also allows interaction with the test infrastructure and
 execution of test suites.
 <p>
 New in the 1.1.0 release:
 <ul>
 <li>The AUTagent used for controlling AUTs has been repackaged as Equinox
 bundles. The application itself is now an Equinox app. The bundles have been
 included in the Jubula feature. This allows controlling the AUT from inside
 an IDE or from the Eclipse for Testers package.
 </li>
 <li>The Remote Control components (which are used to instrument the AUT)
 are now packaged as OSGi bundles.</li>
 <li>The AUTrun application has been repacked as an Equinox application.</li>
 <li>Launch Configurations for Swing and RCP applications have been provided
 as new optional features. They allow starting AUTs from inside a Java or RCP
 development IDEs with the instrumentation for test execution applied.</li>
 <li>Refactoring of Test Cases has been extended. It is now possible to
 change the tests signature during refactoring.</li>
 <li>The Migration Wizard for database updates between version has been re-enabled
 and now supports EclipseLink/JPA.</li>
 </ul>
 </p>
 <h1>Non-Code Aspects</h1>
 Documentation, Cheat Sheets and Online Help have been provided to
 allow beginners a painless start.
 <h1>Testing and Packaging</h1>
 Jubula is build using Hudson, Maven and Tycho.
 <br>
 Since Jubula is a GUI test tool it is tested by itself. There are
 currently about 7000 high level test steps executed for a complete test. This
 test include happy path checking, low level GUI component checking and
 cross application checks. All tests are performed nightly on five test
 instances covering MS Windows XP, Vista and 7, CentOS 5.5
 and Mac OSX 10.6.
 <br>
 Jubula is part of the Indigo Release Train and maintains a Testing Package
 at the EPP.
 <br>
 The EPP Testing package itself is tested by Jubula. There is a proposal
 from the Jubula team to develop and maintain tests for other interested
 EPP packages.
