Hi Jeffry, very interesting link :-)
What I get from their FAQ, it does seem possible to use it with flex: "What kinds of SWF files are supported and what SWF files are not supported? The tool supports testing on SWF files created in ActionScript 3 that are pure AS applications containing objects like Sprites, movieclips, and such. Not all Flex (MX or Spark) components (Flex apps) are supported; however, Automated UI Tester for Adobe® ActionScript® can be extended to support these. AIR applications, AS1- and AS2-based SWF apps are also not supported." I would assume that this tool works on basic Flash events and doesn't really "know" flex. I guess one would have wo write some Java-Based automation abstraction for these MX and Spark components. But not having to deal with Automation instrumentation sounds great. I remember fixing and tweaking the automation of custom Flex components to start making my hair gray earlier than it shoud ;-) In general this sounds very promissing. I'll certainly have a look into it and probalby add a report to my Automation comparison I did early last year: https://dev.c-ware.de/confluence/display/PUBLIC/Functional+Testing+Tools Chris -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jeffry Houser [mailto:jef...@dot-com-it.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 21.
