Jubula is a tool for the automated testing of Graphical User Interfaces. The focus of the tool is on testing an application’s business logic (workflows, use cases) from the user perspective (functional, black-box, acceptance testing).

The approach used is the keyword-driven method. Tests are automated by dragging and dropping pre-defined modules (or Test Cases, or keywords) to make sequences of actions for your application. Each Project contains one or more libraries of these pre-defined modules for you to use. Test automation with these keywords is hierarchical – using the libraries, you can create modules of your own and reuse them to make more complex tests and so on.

Using the keyword-driven approach has various advantages, which are detailed in the next Section 1.2.5, “Our approach”.
