Unit testing puremvc based flex application

I 开发者_JAVA百科have a flex application written using PureMVC framework.Now,I want to write tests.We are using FlashBuilder 4.Is FlexUnit sufficient for testing? Are there any issues you have faced while writing tests?

I, personally, have had problems getting the Unit testing features of Flash Builder 4 to work. I ended up creating a separate AIR Project and creating Unit Tests in that using FlexUnit 1 (I believe the swc is 0.98 or something similar). I chose that version of FlexUnit because --at the time--documentation was very sparse on FlexUnit 4 and Flash Builder integration. I suspect things have changed on the documentation, and stability front, I have not gone back to that since Flash Builder was released.

Now, I'm not sure specifically how PureMVC works, so can't comment on specifics of unit testing with PureMVC. But, I have found that unit testing works great for model classes; which are often not framework specific. You should have no problem unit testing said classes.

I have found that unit testing is not beneficial for User Interface classes. For something like that an automation testing tool such RIATest or FlexMonkey are better suited.

Does that answer the question?
