[flexcoders] Re: How do YOU do functional testing and automation package questions
I'd love to hear how FunFX works out for you. We are currently using some extensions I wrote to Selenium to test our Flex (2.0.1) UI. It is working pretty well for us. There was some talk last year of making it open source this year but I'm not sure what approvals/time I will get to facilitate this. Basically we add our new commands to the user-extensions.js file in the Selenium Core, they reach into the application through the Flex-Ajax bridge and a command handler finds components and dispatches events from the application root. Very doable and with Flex 3 automation package, I imagine much more can be done now.

I've been trying to add some automated functional testing to our flex app. I found FunFX, a functional test framework for flex built in ruby. This page ( http://peternic.blogspot.com/2007/11/funfx-getting-started.html ) directed me to install the automation package, which claims that you can use it with LCDS or Express LCDS. However, it demands a license key to install, and the Express version of LCDS seems to just install by not entering a key. (ie if you have only Express LCDS, it seems you can't actually install the automation package). Any suggestions? We are in the process of upgrading to Flex 3, but in the short term this isn't an option. I'm curious as to what other people are using for functional testing their Flex apps. Some searching reveals that Selenium can be extended fairly easily for Flex testing, and google indicates that several people have in-house Selenium extensions, but none of these appear to have been contributed back yet. I'm partway through a proof of concept for selenium testing (I have JavaScript finding buttons in my Flex app), but this FunFX seems to have a lot of work done that I'd have to repeat. Any pointers would be appreciated! Thanks Neil

[flexcoders] Re: How do YOU do functional testing and automation package questions
I am actually a ways into developing an in house extension to Flex for Selenium. I looked for others doing the same a couple months back (Sept/Oct) and found none. Can you direct me to the others you have found doing this? We are going to approach this with management again after the New Year but I am not sure how much support we will get to open sourcing our work. The ruby stuff looks cool but if would definitely require the Flex Builder 3 or Flex 3 SDK as in 2.0.1 of the past, the automation package is not 'free' and requires a license. Sounds like the 2.0.2 SDK in Flex Builder 3 has the automation package available for free which is interesting but a couple months back I couldn't find enough information to do much with the automation package so I went a different route.
