By creating a new project using the current template, you start with no history or reference to this repository.
-This allows you to create a new repository easily without copying and pasting previous content, clone repositories, or clearing the history manually.

The IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template project provides integration of two testing approaches – functional and UI tests.
### Functional tests
-Most of the IntelliJ Platform codebase tests are model-level, run in a headless environment using an actual IDE instance.
-The tests usually test a feature as a whole rather than individual functions that comprise its implementation, like in unit tests.

Code coverage makes it possible to measure and track the degree of plugin sources testing.
The code coverage gets executed when running the `check` Gradle task.
The final test report is sent to [CodeCov][codecov] for better results visualization.
### UI tests
-If your plugin provides complex user interfaces, you should consider covering them with tests and the functionality they utilize.
+If your plugin provides complex user interfaces, you should consider covering them with tests and the functionality they
+utilize.
-[IntelliJ UI Test Robot][gh:intellij-ui-test-robot] allows you to write and execute UI tests within the IntelliJ IDE running instance.
-You can use the [XPath query language][xpath] to find components in the currently available IDE view.
-Once IDE with `robot-server` has started, you can open the `http://localhost:8082` page that presents the currently available IDEA UI components hierarchy in HTML format and use a simple `XPath` generator, which can help test your plugin's interface.
+This template uses the [IntelliJ IDE Starter][gh:intellij-ide-starter] framework for UI testing, which provides a modern
+approach to testing IntelliJ Platform plugins through the Driver SDK.
+The framework allows you to interact with IDE components programmatically and verify plugin behavior in a real IDE
+environment.
> [!NOTE]
-> Run IDE for UI tests by invoking the `./gradlew runIdeForUiTests` and `./gradlew check` Gradle tasks.
+> Run UI tests by invoking the `./gradlew uiTest` Gradle task.
+
+For comprehensive documentation on UI testing, refer to

-Check the UI Test Example project you can use as a reference for setting up UI testing in your plugin: [intellij-ui-test-robot/ui-test-example][gh:ui-test-example].
+Example UI test using IntelliJ IDE Starter:
```kotlin
-class MyUITest {
-
- @Test
- fun openAboutFromWelcomeScreen() {
- val robot = RemoteRobot("http://127.0.0.1:8082")
- robot.find(byXpath("//div[@myactionlink = 'gearHover.svg']")).click()

+/**
+ * UI component definitions for testing the MyToolWindow custom tool window.
+ *
+ * This file demonstrates how to create custom UI component definitions for
+ * IntelliJ Platform plugin UI testing using the Driver SDK.
+ *
+ * ## Architecture:
+ * - Extension functions on `Finder` provide DSL-style access to UI components
+ * - Custom component classes (like `MyToolWindowPanel`) encapsulate complex UI structures
+ * - Helper functions simplify common UI element queries
+ *
+ * ## Key Concepts:
+ * 1. **Finder**: The main entry point for finding UI components in the IDE
+ * 2. **XPath Queries**: Used to locate specific UI elements by their properties
+ * 3. **Component Classes**: Custom classes that represent your plugin's UI components
+ * 4. **Allure Steps**: Optional test reporting integration for better test visibility
+ *
+ * @see [Driver SDK Documentation](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-ide-starter)
+ */
+
+/**
+ * Finds a JLabel component using an XPath query.
+ *
+ * This helper function show how you can extend the finding components.
+ * In this example we find a label component in the UI.
+ * If no XPath is provided, it finds any JLabel in the current context.
+ *
+ * ## Usage Examples:
+ * ```kotlin
+ * // Find a specific label by text
+ * jlabel("//div[@visible_text='My Label Text']")
+ *
+ * // Find any JLabel in context
+ * jlabel()
+ * ```
+ *
+ * @param xpath Optional XPath query to locate a specific label.
+ * The @Language annotation enables IDE support for XPath syntax.
+ * @return A JLabelUiComponent for further interaction

+ * Opens the MyToolWindow tool window from the left toolbar.
+ *
+ * This function navigates to the tool window stripe button and opens it.
+ * It's a prerequisite for interacting with the tool window contents.
+ *
+ * ## How it works:
+ * 1. Finds the left toolbar component
+ * 2. Locates the MyToolWindow stripe button by its accessible name
+ * 3. Opens the tool window if it's not already visible
+ *
+ * ## Customization:
+ * - Replace "MyToolWindow" with your tool window's ID
+ * - Adjust the toolbar location if your tool window is on a different side
+ */

+ *
+ * This is the main entry point for tool window UI testing. It:
+ * 1. Opens the tool window if needed
+ * 2. Waits for the panel to be available
+ * 3. Executes test code within the panel's context
+ *
+ * ## Usage in Tests:
+ * ```kotlin
+ * ideFrame {
+ * myToolWindow {
+ * // Your test interactions here
+ * button("Click Me").click()
+ * jlabel("//div[@text='Result']").shouldBe { present() }
+ * }
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## Parameters:
+ * @param timeout Maximum time to wait for the tool window to appear (default: 20 seconds)
+ * @param block The test code to execute within the tool window context
+ *
+ * ## Allure Integration:
+ * The `step` wrapper creates a named step in Allure test reports,
+ * making it easier to understand test flow and debug failures.

+ * Custom UI component class representing the MyToolWindow panel.
+ *
+ * This class serves as a container for tool-window-specific UI interactions.
+ * Extend this class to add methods for interacting with your tool window's components.
+ *
+ * ## Adding Custom Methods:
+ * ```kotlin
+ * class MyToolWindowPanel(data: ComponentData) : UiComponent(data) {
+ * // Find a button by its text
+ * fun button(text: String) = x("//div[@defaultbutton and @text='$text']")
+ *
+ * // Find an input field

+ *
+ * // Custom interaction method
+ * fun performSearch(query: String) {
+ * inputField().text = query
+ * button("Search").click()
+ * }
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## Best Practices:
+ * - Keep methods focused on single UI elements or actions
+ * - Use descriptive names that match your plugin's terminology
+ * - Document complex XPath queries or interaction patterns
+ * - Consider adding validation methods for common assertions
