I dont have idea about flex sites, But I need to test a site which is developed by Flex. Please send me a mail, What things to concentrate while testing a flex implemented site. As I am a manual tester, Please send instructions which will be helpful for manual testing.

Thanks

[...] couple of months ago, I blogged about the state of Flex, including a post on the state of testing tools. We never did find a tool that satisfied our needs. So, Gorilla Logic (mostly Stu Stern) [...]

Or checkout the tool the SDK uses to do tests with.

Glad to see you’re interested in dpUInt. The project, which will be renamed soon as part of an upcoming 1.0 release, is meant to be a really good unit and integration testing tool for Flex but not a functional testing tool.

For an affordable functional testing solution, I can recommend RIATest (www.riatest.com). It’s only $399 a license and they get the event-driven nature of Flex in a way the big functional testing solutions don’t.

*also, the link you provide for dpUInt goes back to the FlexUnit page, too

Hi Jon. There’s also Visual FlexUnit (http://code.google.com/p/visualflexunit/), and RIATest (http://riatest.com/).

Visual Flex Unit is open source and free, but harder to use. RIATest is pretty straight forward and has a powerful scripting language, but costs $400 (which sure beats HP’s QTP by a factor of 25X!).

There’s also Borland’s Silk Test.

If you implement deep linking in your application, you could use a tool like HtmlUnit to navigate the portions of your app that are reachable via a URL, but that is not entirely satisfactory.

I don’t see FlexUnit/DPUnit as serving this role. They are primarily focused on unit testing or code-level and API testing, not integration and UI testing. It would be nice to have an open source solution for the UI testing as well, but it doesn’t help that the Flex automation libraries are not part of the open SDK either.
