Me neither, just because this one is widely used: "Jasmine seems to be the most popular of the three (based on discussions with other programmers, and from number of stars on the repository)." https://coderwall.com/p/ntbixw/javascript-test-framework-comparison I just want to add one more extern, https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/blob/master/contrib/externs/jasmine-2.0.js Any objections ? > I’ve pondered whether we can cross-compile > FlexUnit or not and use it on the JS side.

I don't get what you are saying, my goal was to check at what point the produced JS code matches the written AS3 code since I've seen this private function be called so easily in JS, I thought the produced code had a AS3 standard, now I know it has not.
