> you might consider writing an

AbstractDialogTester (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/abbot/abbot.swt/src/abbot/tester/swt/AbstractDialogTester.java?rev=HEAD)

> for your wizard. you would probably extend

BaseFinishCancelDialogTester (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/abbot/abbot.swt.eclipse/src/abbot/tester/swt/eclipse/BaseFinishCancelDialogTester.java?rev=HEAD)

> in the abbot.swt.eclipse module.

> e.g. abstract class MyWizardDialogTester extends
> BaseFinishCancelDialogTester

> and add your own protected getter and action* methods

> my usual practice is to write the following types of methods:

> 1. Getter methods

> get all widgets in the dialog (assume you are on the correct page)
> and throw WidgetNotFound and MultipleWidgetsFound exceptions.

> 2. Action methods

> using the getter methods to find the widgets, i write methods like
> actionEnterProjectName(String name), actionMyCheckBox(boolean
> check), actionNext(), actionBack(), etc...

> 3. Leave doTestDialog() unimplemented, for tests to implement,
> and/or have static methods that take you entirely through the
> wizard.

> i have not gotten around to writing any documentation, but you might
> find the javadocs for the AbstractDialogTester in abbot.swt helpful.
