Is there a replacement for Fest, such that the replacement could drive a Java Swing UI in a blackbox manner (not JUnit) and enable BDD? Fest (https://code.google.com/p/fest/, http://fest.easytesting.org) has been abandoned since 2013 (https://github.com/alexruiz/fest-swing-1.x) as given by its GitHub project.

Java BDD tools such as cucumber (https://cucumber.io) and jbehave (http://jbehave.org) allow JUnit whitebox style, high-level integration testing, but do not drive the Swing UI from the outside in a blackbox manner.

Switching the UI from Swing to JavaFX is not an option due to human resource constraints.

AssertJ Swing is a fork from FEST and seems to be currently updated. Jubula from Eclipse and Marathon are other open source options.

MarathonITE adds bells and whistles to Marathon, comes with support and a proprietary license .

I am aware that this is an old question, but since it comes up when I search for Java Swing functional test automation, I hope this is useful for someone else.

UISpec4J (http://www.uispec4j.org/) seems to be an option, I can't say much because just discovered it.

Hope it works for you.

ReTest (https://www.retest.de/en/) also is an option. It implements an innovative approach to functional regression testing and combines this with ai-based monkey testing. There will also soon be an open source version.
