Unit test of FPM applications?

Question

Is there any way to implement/execute some kind of unit tests for floorplan manager applications? I would like to write some automatically reproducible tests but cannot find any solution/framework for it.

Dear Thomas,
Nguyen is right. Either you mock the behavior directly in the UI (then no ABAP Unit is needed). Or you are using GUIBBs with feeder classes and use ABAP Unit which requires you to call methods like FLUSH or PROCESS_EVENT in the ABAP unit test manually.
I tried it myself and it works pretty straight forward. All you would have to to is to
resolve all dependencies like the instance of IF_FPM in the INITIALIZE method.
A new feeder's subclass will be subject to the unit test.
Override INITIALIZE there and replace all dependencies by mocked instances
call the UIBB's methods like the FPM would do it: INITIALIZE, FLUSH, PROCESS_EVENT etc.
when needed, also mock parameter input like events (CL_FPM_EVENT)
carry out verifications against the mocked dependencies (e.g. if various methods like RAISE_EVENT or OPEN_DIALOG_BOX in IF_FPM have been called or not, or of certain wire objects have been passed)
