This tutorial uses the Name Database, one of the example Java applications included with JavaStar. If you look in the javastar\examples
directory, you'll see there are three versions of this application. Most of the tutorial uses namedb1, though later lessons contrast this version with others.
The Name Database is a straightforward, no-frills, name-and-address database application. It provides functions you can use to:
While the Name Database provides the simplicity this tutorial needs for an example, it isn't the kind of full-featured application that you might make available to customers. While your applications are likely to be larger and more complex than namedb, you'll use the same approaches to testing them as you'll learn here for namedb.
Looking at the GUI for the Name Database, you can see that the application has three windows (Figure 1-1 shows these):
The tutorial uses these three windows to demonstrate the principles and techniques of JavaStar testing. The goal is to give you ideas on how you can plan testing for a Java GUI, and to show you how much power JavaStar gives you by providing you ways to quickly build complex tests.
