Arctic: Automated Desktop Application Testing
- Arctic is a tool developed by the Amazon Corretto team to validate interactive desktop applications as part of an automated build pipeline.
- It supports existing manual tests and can be used to validate any type of UI test without requiring application side support.
- Arctic operates on Linux, Windows, and macOS systems and captures and reproduces keyboard and mouse events for test validation.
- A distinguishing feature of Arctic is its ability to support scenarios where a perfect pixel match is not possible by focusing on specific screen areas.
- Arctic includes configurable image comparators, session persistence, automatic event removal, and test playback speed control.
- Users can configure Arctic using recorder.properties and player.properties files and need at least JDK 11 to run the Java application.
- Changes to the test environment like desktop background, screen resolution, UI theme, or installed fonts can impact Arctic's validation results.
- Arctic provides support for recording, replaying tests, and reviewing image comparisons to identify failures and approve valid differences.
- Users can export test results in junit and tap file formats and review failed screenshots to improve test accuracy.
- The Arctic tool is accessible for download in binary or source code form and offers features like customizable control keys for recording tests.
