Testing GUIs can make the entire system safer and more robust. Any GUI, even one providing only the simplest capabilities, likely encloses some level of complexity. The more user-friendly a GUI is the more complexity it might be hiding from the user. Any complexity in software must be tested because code without tests is a potential source of bugs. A well-tested application has a greater chance of success. Several recommendations and practices can simplify test-driven GUI development for Java Swing applications. TestNG-Abbot, a developer-friendly library, provides a simple API that facilitates the application of TDD to Java GUIs
