flex testing architecture

[filippo dipisa <fi...@dipisa.net>]

Hi All,
I'm having a look to the Flex source code and it seems that Adobe didn't
use TDD or I don't see the ALL tests.
For example I think that each spark component should have his related test
but I don't see them.
I found some tests based on script but just for few properties.
Is there any documentation explaining how the test architecture/strategy
works out there?

Is there any plan to mavenize everything?

Thanks in advance.

Filippo

That would be my educated guess as well.

Not all of the tests have been donated yet. We have the check in tests and the button tests but the rest are still to come. The button tests are fairly comprehensive. The rest of the tests should be donated in a few weeks (fingers crossed).

Alex put some notes up on the wiki, but more info would be helpful I think.

It's being worked one, search the mailing list for info.

Thanks,

There's a small amount here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/FLEX/mustella-overview.html

Doing an "ant checkintests" or a " mini_run.sh tests/components/Button" gives you a good idea how it runs.

Thanks,

I agree with you.
I cheked out your FlexUnit source code to try to help improving the
UUIImpersonator.
Is there any documentation about the Mustella framework?

There are no unit tests. Very early in this list there is a prolonged series of discussions on this topic, it might be useful to give those a quick read.

There are tests for these components in a framework called Mustella. They are somewhere between integration and functional tests and constitute the way the Flex framework was tested.

One of the goals I originally put out there was to one day have unit test coverage.
