	<h1>What is SWTBot?</h1>
	<p>SWTBot is an open-source Java based UI/functional testing tool for testing <a href="/swt">SWT</a>, <a href="/">Eclipse</a> and <a href="/gef">GEF</a> based applications.</p>

	<p>SWTBot provides APIs that are simple to read and write. The APIs also hide the complexities involved with SWT and Eclipse. This makes it suitable for UI/functional testing by everyone, not just developers. SWTBot also provides its own set of assertions that are useful for SWT. You can also use your own assertion framework with SWTBot.</p>

	<p>SWTBot integrates with Eclipse PDE, Eclipse headless testing framework, Ant and <a href="http://eclipse.org/tycho">Tycho</a>, so it's easy to use in your IDE and Headless Builds (as part of a CI job for example).</p>

	<p>SWTBot can run on all platforms that SWT runs on. Very few other testing tools provide such a wide variety of platforms.</p>

	<p>Starting from version 2.1.0, SWTBot also provide a <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Generator">Test Recorder and Generator</a> that you can use to generate your test case simply by recording the UI actions as an end-user would perform them. This is really helpful to get quickly a first sketch of your SWTBot scenario and reduce costs of writing tests.</p>
