> http://wiki.github.com/mde/flex-pilot/api Well, we all have to make a living here :) but Darren is right on both counts - Selenium and Flex-Pilot (co-created by Adam Christian of Sauce Labs) are both open source tools. Sauce IDE, our valued added version of Selenium is not yet open source, but it is free. We contribute to these free software tools (and hired the creator of Hudson to write a Selenium/Hudson plug-in) and make money only when you _choose_ to run your Selenium / Sauce tests on Sauce OnDemand - a cloud service that execute your tests in parallel across different browsers and OS without having to set up QA infrastructure. We hope you do :-) > I love Selenium, but haven't got my head around how to use it for flash > testing We have made it pretty straight forward. When you download Sauce IDE (Same interface and mechanics as Selenium IDE) Flex-Pilot is built in. http://saucelabs.com/downloads To test the flash/flex components, simply turn on the Flex Explorer button, mouse over the flash/flex objects and record your key strokes just like you would in Selenium IDE on other parts of your browser. After you have built your test, you can export them to Java, Ruby, Python, and PHP if you like. (other languages are not yet supported) Here is short video from our Selenium meet-up a few months back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_eECx0vgsI&feature=player_embedded This article further explains the technology: http://www.sdtimes.com/link/34498 The webinar on Aug 5 11a PDT should be very helpful as well: http://saucelabs.com/about/webinars#webinar-flex > So to bring this thread back on-topic, is anyone using the > open-source version of flex-pilot with it (or some other way to use > Selenium to test flash applications)? Thanks so much Darren.
