Although AssertJ Swing makes it easy to write GUI tests, troubleshooting GUI test failures can be a
challenging task. The following links explain the features that AssertJ Swing provides to help us
figure out why a GUI test failed.
AssertJ Swing tests Failing in a CI server
Users have reported that some AssertJ Swing tests failed when executed in a continuous integration
server running on Windows.

We are using Team City 4.0.2 with the agent running on a Windows XP machine. If the screen is
locked (via screen saver or Ctrl-Alt-Del) when the FEST tests run any assertions involving
"requires message" fail. If we unlock the screen the tests pass. Has anyone else encountered this
and do you have a solution other than keeping the screen unlocked (security risk).
Possible solutions can be found in this mail thread.
