Hi Chris, Selenium can't directly talk to flex, you need some sort of bridge to bring the two together. As far as I know flexmonkium is what's doing that for Selenium Webdriver. Without this, Selenium will only detect a big black box where your flex application is running.
Well there are other alternatives however, but these are almost all commercial solutions. The tool I liked best in this area was definitely Silk4J (http://www.borland.com/products/silktest/read/), but the price-tag is surely a lot higher than the open source solutions. A few years ago I did an evaluation on different tools, but I think that's quite outdated now, but perhaps it gives you an Idea about other alternatives. Deffiniteley there are new players on the field, the old ones will have different products. Perhaps a lot of things work differently, but perhaps you'll still get some usefull information from it: https://dev.c-ware.de/confluence/display/PUBLIC/Functional+Testing+Tools Chris ________________________________________ Von: Scott Matheson <[email protected]> Gesendet: Freitag, 15.
