Hi, Mustella is 98% Flex (there is some Java code to manage launching of the tests and such). A "test" is actually two files. One file is the "test SWF" which is a main program MXML or AS file that contains the items to be tested, such as a DataGrid, along with any other data required by the test. The second file is the "test Script" which is an MXML file with <TestCase> elements. The items within the <TestCase> elements set up the objects defined by the test SWF and then manipulate them by changing their properties or interacting with them. Many tests contain a bitmap comparison with a baseline image to detect changes in the visual aspect. Tests can also contain assertions against the property values to make sure a values remain true to the original values.
To run a test, both the main test file and the test script files are compiled into a SWF and executed. The Mustella mini_run.sh script has a -rerun argument that will skip the compilation process, but most of the time the files are compiled with each run. I hope this explanation helps.
