Hey Robert, Here's a great article on Test-Driven Development: http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/testinfected/testing.htm
Essentially, AsUnit 3.x is built directly from the JUnit source code. It is a pure ActionScript framework that allows you to construct test fixtures for your applications. It lets you build each encapsulated element of an application, test it, gaurantee it's functionality and then through continuous integration, grow your application over time with confidence. If at any point, you break some long-forgotten entity, your test fixture will notify you immediately with exactly what is broken and why it broke. If you later expose issues (bugs) that went originally untested, you can develop a new test that exposes the behavior, then fix it and be assured that it won't be reintroduced. This is an alternative approach to what's known as "Waterfall" development, and without a clean unit test framework, it's very difficult to implement... Thanks for asking!
