  This is definitely something I am looking for. Where can I get more information (and what about using some other tools rather than QTP?)

  When the release of Flex 2.0.1 happens I’ll hopefully have more information.

  Hi Renaun,

  Do you already have any more insight to Functional Testing flex applications?

  Best Regards,

  Pieter

  Not at this time, I have some proof of concept stuff but it is too early to demonstrate anything.

  hi! i am using qtp to test the flex application, but unfortunetly qtp don’t want to work with flex as much as i wanted to.

  unfortunately i am unable to select option values from drop down list ( e.g. 1, 2, 3). i am unable to select values from Flex list by index also. If you have any solution please contact with me we can exchange our knowledge.

  Renaun,

  I am trying to automate the Flex pages using QTP through discriptive programming but unfortuantely i am unable to do it,if you have any procedural document to automate Flex pages using QTP can you please send it to me.

  Hi Renaun,

  I’m using flex 2.0.1, QTP 9.2 and the Adobe Flex plug-in for QTP. Is still needed flex applications to import automation.swc, automation_agent.swc, automation_charts.swc and qtp.swc? There is very little updated information about automation flex apps using QTP.

  Thanks,
  Marco

  Is TestComplete a good substitute for QTP?? It can test Flash also.
  Please suggest..

  Thanks

  @Suni I just recently came across TestComplete. I think since TestComplete relies on IAccessible that its somewhat limited compared to QTP. But it might be enough for your needs, but you have to implement your components or Flex’s components with the IAccessible interface. Which I don’t think all the components in the Flex Framework implement.

  @Renaun
  I am evaluating testcomplete for a flex application. Could you post some examples of how to modify flex code to implement the IAccessible interface so as to expose the objects to testcomplete.
  thanks

  I haven’t confirmed this actually working myself but the idea is that AccessibilityProperties are what TestComplete will see. So something like this should work for you:

  var accessProps:AccessibilityProperties = new AccessibilityProperties();
  accessProps.name = “myTestCompleteName”;
  myUIComponent.accessibilityProperties = accessProps;

  Now in TestComplete when you click on the component it should say something like “myTestCompleteName” for the target name and you can use that in your scripts.
