Hi Chris

Unfortunately good documentation on this topic has always been thin :-(

You have to know and keep in mind one thing: Flex already comes with features 
to explicitly allow automation. But you have to add that support to your 
application. You can do this in two ways: 1. You compile in the automation libs 
(You have to make sure all classes are included to your application ... so a 
normal dependency will not work) then the application created is a little 
bigger, but it comes with all it needs to be automated. 2. You load your 
application with a loader application that contains the automation classes (I 
prefer option 1 as its a lot easier to setup an automated CI build for this).

These automation adapters don't allow you to automate your application. It 
makes you able to do so, but you need something that uses these automation 
adapters to actually do something. 

I would recommend in to take over this part, you should have a look at selenium 
web driver (http://docs.seleniumhq.org/projects/webdriver/) (Not the older 
non-web-driver version) and FlexMonkium (http://flexautomation.blogspot.de/)

With this you should be albe to write record-replay tests as well as (an this 
is the option I would prefer) to write 
JUnit/TestNG/whateverjavatestingframeworkyouareusing tests that integrate in 
your CI build.

Betreff: Functional / E2E testing Flex applications

Hi, i was wondering if anyone could point me to some up to date resources
that explain Functional/Acceptence testing of a flex application.

Ideally i would like to use WebDriver so that this can be done via SauceLabs
but the information provided on SauceLabs site was sparse at best.

Some sort of steer on the common approach to this problem would be great

cheers

Chris
