So what do you think of this new interface info.fr-Flex?

Developers Adobe Flex professionals have so far been frustrated by the lack of unit testing tools for Flex. Although FlexUnit has been developed for some time, developers have to Flex unit test tool worthy of the name ...

Rather than wait for someone (Adobe?) To do so Gorilla Logic has created a system called FlexMonkey open sourced. FlexMonkey allows us to record and read the interactions made with a flex interface, and generates ActionScript tests using scripts that can easily be included in a process of integration. It uses the Flex Automation API and was created by extending automation Adobe graphic AutoQuick.
The growing demand for such a tool was that even if the release is out there just 2 months, an active community has already begun this rough around open source project that has been downloaded nearly 1000 times.

For more info on the project FlexMonkey, here is a video presentation by its designers:

All authors of Flex-info.fr join me in wishing you a wonderful year 2009: that the MXML, the ActionScript and success accompany you in all your projects!

I also hope that Flex Builder does not take you too the head and that becomes your Flex dada!
