 <br> Release Review: June 2013
 <br> Communication Channels:
 <ul>
 <li>Eclipse Bugzilla</li>
 <li>Jubula Newsgroup</li>
 <li>Jubula Mailing List jubula-dev@eclipse.org
 </ul>
 <br> Process Documentation :

 <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>Important Changes</h1>
 With the Kepler release some former (non-)API used for writing Jubula extensions was changed.
 This was necessary to provide support for easier addition of toolkits, especially for mobile platforms.
 An overview of how to write extensions is available as <a href="http://ftp.bredex.de/.gd/201303141757/Jubula_2.0.00148/EXTEND.pdf">a PDF document</a>.
 A migration guide is available in <a href="http://ftp.bredex.de/.gd/201303141757/Jubula_2.0.00148/releaseNotes.pdf">the release notes</a>.

 Deprecated Test Steps and unbound modules have been removed in this version. For migration help refer to the release notes.

 <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 2.1.0 release:
 <ul>
 <li>Support for testing e4 RCP application (both pure e4 and with the compatibility layer)</li>
 <li>Support for 32 and 64 bit platforms</li>
 <li>Support for Microsoft&reg; Windows 8 testing</li>
 <li>The Test Case Browser view can now have multiple instances</li>
 <li>Searches can now be limited to selected entities and can be constrained to the current project (i.e. skip reused projects).
 <li>The workspace selection dialog no longer uses a special version. The standard platform chooser is now used.</li>
 <li>Database access can now store credential information and project access information in the Eclipse secure data storage.</li>
 <li>The command line tools can now use DB urls instead of workspace data to access the project database.</li>
 <li>Remote Control: new Test Steps and unbound modules have been provided for data storage.</li>
 <li>HTML reports now include screenshots on error</li>
 <li>Performance improvements, escpecially when working with very large projects</li>
 <li>A lot of usability improvements</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 25.000 high level test steps executed for a complete
 test on one platform. This
 test include happy path checking, low level GUI component checking and
 cross application checks. All tests are performed nightly on several test
 instances covering MS Windows Vista, 7 and 8, CentOS 5.5
 and Mac OSX 10.8.
 <br>
 Jubula is part of the Kepler Release Train and maintains a Testing Package
 at the EPP.
 <br>
 The EPP Testing package itself is tested by Jubula.

 <h1>Community and Support</h1>
 <ul>
 	<li>Eclipse Forum: about 100 entries per week on average</li>

 	<li>Mailing Lists:
 		<ul>
 			<li>jubula-dev@eclipse.org</li>
 		</ul>
 	<li>blog.bredex.de syndicated at Planet Eclipse</li>

 	<li> The Eclipse for Testers package has been download more than 100.000 times for the latest release.
 	The freely available installer package (non-EPL because of included drivers) has similar download numbers.
 	</li>
 </ul>
