This week the guys from Gorilla Logic released FlexMonkey version 1.0 beta. I have been testing the previous version on one of my Flex applications and now that they have released it as an AIR application I will definitely start using it more and more for future projects.
So, what exactly is it?
FlexMonkey is an Adobe AIR application used for testing Flex- and AIR-based applications. Providing the functionality to record, playback and verify Flex UI interactions, FlexMonkey also generates ActionScript-based testing scripts that you can easily include within a continuous integration environment.
How does it help a developer like me build better applications? Well, you need to test your application right, and in the end you always end up doing the same actions over and over again. FlexMonkey can record those repetitive actions so you can replay this if you need to test. From those recorded actions, FlexMonkey can generate AS3 code that you can add to your project. And if you use some kind of continuous integration solution (like Cruise Control, Hudson, …), these test cases can be plugged in and automatically executed. FlexMonkey supports Fluint and FlexUnit 4 for unit test creation and has support for Ant and Hudson. The source code is available on Google Code.
You can read more about testing your Flex application in this article on Adobe Developer Connection or check out this introduction video. It should give you an impression of what the application can do.
Congratz guys and keep up the good work!
