How to do test for a Flex Application?

[yeo_31]

Hello all:

I'm trying to test a Flex App (a dynamic web project). Other than manual test,
could please give me some advice?

First I'm supposed to use FlexUnit, this framework works well but the project
itself is hard to meet the requirement for unit testing within FlexUnit. After
got information from this forum, I could walk around some obstacles but it
remains very uneasy to writing FlexUnit test cases.

Then, I read an article about quality assurance for flash app
([url]http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/blueprint/articles/qa_petmarket.html[/url]), it
is a good idea to write a simple interface to test all apis. But for my
project, other than remote objects (java) there is few external interactions
with other data or services. Thus I don't think it is helpful to test all
remote object calls. Actually, those java objects are proved to be correct and
Flex itself is responsible for the remote data service but not testers like me.

In short, the more I worked on the test topic for my Flex App the more
confused I am.

Thanks very much!

What sort of things are you trying to test? Are you just trying to test performance or other aspects of your project?

Actually there is no formal test for my Flex App project. First the developers
finish the codes, then 2-3 testers manually navigate the app to ensure all
requirements have been met. What I want to do is to utilize any available tools
or framework (like the FlexUnti) to do more test (Unit Test Level, Stress/Load
Level, and etc).

I wonder what TEST other Flex coders currently do and briefly how to do those
test.

Many thanks.

AFAIK there are no tools for automating tests against flash.

am i correct?
[by automation tools i mean the sort used for recording/running automated
functaional tests, or automated datadriven tests]
