RE: [flexcoders] testing of Flex apps

[Karl Johnson]

Here is a well written article from adobe on the testing of a flash based application: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/blueprint/articles/qa_petmarket.html   Unless something has come out recently, I don't know of any automated testing tools that directly support flash apps (flex). You can use some of the apps like homer that basically just record exact screen location where you click and type, and then playback using the same coordinates. This is not the most reliable way of testing, but it can for some.   Has anyone tried writing an automated testing framework for flex? One that would run as a flex app, and load the target app to be tested inside of its self? Then it could communicate with it and "click" and "type". I have done several automated testing frameworks like this for web applications (since I was never a fan of record and playback or buying software to do it), but I haven't tried it on flash/flex. I am almost positive you could do it though. I might have to give it a try one of these days :)   Karl   Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.CynergySystems.com From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Kaeth Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 2:27 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] testing of Flex apps What is the best way to regression test a flex app ? Does flex provide any regression testing suite for testing flex apps like JUNit, HTTPUnit ?   TIA __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
