+DESCRIPTION
+
+The UnitTests application is a very basic form of unit testing primarily
+intended for FlexJS framework developers. It is a 'lite' version of a small portion of 
+Flexunit code to support basic assertion tests.
+
+This Flex application may be run as a Flash SWF or cross-compiled (using Falcon JX)
+into JavaScript and HTML and run without Flash.
+
+There is a convenience html page inside the top level testsview directory for hosting the tests side-by-side 
+that permits developers to refresh the test builds simultaneously and compare results in the browser, including the 
+ability to toggle between JS-Debug and JS-Release builds.
+While this is primarily intended for framework developers, it may be useful as a starting point
+for cross-compiled unit testing (during development only) in regular FlexJS projects.
+
+FRAMEWORK DEVELOPER NOTES
+To add new tests, follow the examples inside the flexUnitTests package, and add any new Test
+group or category level class (the classes directly inside flexUnitTests package) into the top 
+level TestClasses.as file. This should be all that is necessary to add new tests.
+
+MetaData
+[BeforeClass] -same as flexunit (typical: 'setupBeforClass')- runs a static method before the test class is instantiated
+[AfterClass] -same as flexunit (typical: 'tearDownAfterClass')- runs a static method after the test class has been processed
+[Before] -same as flexunit (typical: 'setup') - runs an instance method before the test class' test methods are processed
+[After] -same as flexunit (typical: 'tearDown') - runs an instance method after the test class' test methods are processed
+[Test] -same as flexunit (typical: 'testXXXX') - denotes a test method. No assumption about order of test methods being called should be made
+
+[TestVariance(variance="JS",description="Reason for variation in JS expected results")]
+The above is specific to this test app, and permits annotation of test methods where the expected results are different between compiler targets.
+The variance key in the meta data should be either "SWF" or "JS". This is the compiler target with the result that is considered to be different
+to what it ideally 'should be', but correct as per the current implementation of the framework. Usually this will be "JS". It indicates a known
+but currently acceptable difference between compiler targets.
+
+
+GENERAL NOTES
+
+In its first working version this app only supports synchronous simple assertions and 
+is intended to use test classes that are compatible with the flexunit tests that are 
+used in the full framework build. Future versions may include more advanced features.
+
+The cross-compilation to JavaScript often results in non-fatal warnings. Some of these warnings
+should be addressed in future releases of the Falcon JX compiler.

+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+The GenericTests application is a very basic form of unit testing primarily
+intended for FlexJS framework developers. It is a 'lite' version of a small portion of 
+Flexunit code to support basic assertion tests.
+
+This Flex application may be run as a Flash SWF or cross-compiled (using Falcon JX)
+into JavaScript and HTML and run without Flash.
+
+There is a convenience html page for hosting the tests side-by-side that permits developers
+to refresh the test builds simultaneously and compare results in the browser, including the 
+ability to toggle between JS-Debug and JS-Release builds.
+While this is primarily intended for framework developers, it may be useful as a starting point
+for cross-compiled unit testing (during development only) in regular FlexJS projects.
+
+FRAMEWORK DEVELOPER NOTES
+To add new tests, follow the examples inside the flexUnitTests package, and add any new Test
+group or category level class (the classes directly inside flexUnitTests package) into the top 
+level TestClasses.as file. This should be all that is necessary to add new tests.
+
+MetaData
+[BeforeClass] -same as flexunit (typical: 'setupBeforClass')- runs a static method before the test class is instantiated
+[AfterClass] -same as flexunit (typical: 'tearDownAfterClass')- runs a static method after the test class has been processed
+[Before] -same as flexunit (typical: 'setup') - runs an instance method before the test class' test methods are processed
+[After] -same as flexunit (typical: 'tearDown') - runs an instance method after the test class' test methods are processed
+[Test] -same as flexunit (typical: 'testXXXX') - denotes a test method. No assumption about order of test methods being called should be made
+
+[TestVariance(variance="JS",description="Reason for variation in JS expected results")]
+The above is specific to this test app, and permits annotation of test methods where the expected results are different between compiler targets.
+The variance key in the meta data should be either "SWF" or "JS". This is the compiler target with the result that is considered to be different
+to what it ideally 'should be', but correct as per the current implementation of the framework. Usually this will be "JS". It indicates a known
+but currently acceptable difference between compiler targets.
+
+
+GENERAL NOTES
+
+In its first working version this app only supports synchronous simple assertions and 
+is intended to use test classes that are compatible with the flexunit tests that are 
+used in the full framework build. Future versions may include more advanced features.
+
+The cross-compilation to JavaScript often results in non-fatal warnings. Some of these warnings
+should be addressed in future releases of the Falcon JX compiler.
