I've posted on here before about this topic. I think this is something that lacks in the Flex community. Just curious if you or your company have looked at a product called imacros. I downloaded the demo and it was pretty decent. It's a lot cheaper than QTP. It also lets you script out tests. I've also wondered if it was possible to get Ruby's Watir tool to work with Flex, that would be my first choice if so. Cool suggestion, we'd use it.

I am interested in this. I had been playing with the thought of using the FA Bridge to allow you to use Selenium to test your applications. Then you could use the Firefox plugin to record our actions and test the movie. Not sure how feasible it is but even that would start with having a testing framework in flex to tie into. simeon On 2/7/07, brian.knorr <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Automating functional tests is critical to the way we develop software at my company. And there are two big things that stop us from using QTP. 1) It's record and playback - we want to write test scripts 2) It costs a lot of money - we want a tool that is free and community driven At my company we are writing several applications in Flex2 and are building out an as3 library that allows us to write test scripts in as3 to drive the Flex ui as if the user was interacting with it. If you are familiar with the Java Swing testing tool called Jemmy, it's very similar in design. Is there any interest out there for a tool like this? I am about to create a sourceforge project, but first wanted to get a feel for the need. Thanks, Brian
