I have written about the FlexMonkey many times, I also wrote about the 1.0 beta announcement several months ago. Such long beta stage will certainly improve a quality of the final product. I think FlexMonkey 1.0 GA will be a excellent application which make life easier. I would also like to introduce FoneMonkey, record and playback testing tool for IPhone architecture. I hope that these two tools will stay in opensource formula.
What’s new in FlexMonkey 1.0 GA ?
- “Wait For” handling – removes reliance on the PauseCommand by defining conditions that pause a script until true
- Fuzzy Bitmap Compare – the Verify command for bitmap images now allows for usercontrolled tolerances in color comparisons
- Simplified Setup – new easier process for configuring FlexMonkey testing of an application
- Compatibility – out of the box compatibility with multiple Flex SDKs (3.3, 3.4.1 and 3.5)
- Code Compiling – easier customization and compilation of FlexMonkey source
FoneMonkey – very interesting set of functionalities:
- Recording and Playback of most iPhone user-interface gestures including touches,
- dragging, scrolling, typing, and shaking.
- Robust, readable test scripts that won’t be broken by cosmetic app changes.
- An integrated script editor.
- An Objective-C API that allows scripts to be extended with Objective-C code or created entirely from scratch without recording.
- Compatible with popular test frameworks like OCUnit, and continuous integration environments.
- Runs on the simulator as well as the iPhone device.
- Easily extensible to work with custom components or interface gestures.
For FlexMonkey startes I recommend two TestAndTry articles:
