Automated Visual Testing of Components
I'm happy to relay the announcement of the first public release of a new visual testing framework built on FlexUnit and AIR known as Visual FlexUnit. Some of you may have heard me make reference to this framework at my recent talks on Continuous Integration with Flex, FlexUnit, and Ant. Douglas McCarroll a recent inter at Allurent (the company I work for) developed the release. Here is what he had to say:
Visual FlexUnit (VFU) is a FlexUnit extension that allows you to do automated testing of components’ visual appearance using “visual assertions”. In a nutshell, a visual assertion asserts that a component’s appearance is identical to a stored baseline image file. These visual tests can be run in either a GUI or an Ant-based build process.
Another great tool to help with automating your testing.
