Flex Automation using Selenium and FlexMonkey

How To, Load Testing Tips 5 Responses »
Aug 122011

Hello Testers – First, I have to admit that I am not a Flex/Flash developer and cannot take credit for the following content. This was produced by my colleague and fellow BrowserMob blogger, Anu. It is documented internally but I believe the BrowserMob community will find value so I scrubbed it and published it.

Overview

Traditionally, testing Flex/Flash applications was difficult because the logic/behavior is encapsulated from the browser. With the introduction of Flex 3.x,  came the release of the Adobe Automation Framework; and Gorilla Logic developed a lightweight testing application called FlexMonkey. In conjunction, a Selenium plugin was created – FlexMonkium. Now Flex recording and playback are seamlessly interleaved with native Selenium recording and playback so you can easily automate the testing of hybrid web applications that mix HTML and Javascript with Flex.

Flash and Flex automation options using Selenium

FAQ 17 Responses »
Dec 072009

We get a lot of customer requests about Flash automation, Selenium, and BrowserMob. Because our load testing and website monitoring services uses real browsers, complete with Flash 10, we can do things no one else can do, like run a load test with hundreds of Flash runtime environments driving traffic on your site.

However, while our infrastructure allows for extremely unique Flash testing support, it’s not perfectly streamlined (yet). While we are hard at work on making Flash support for Selenium and BrowserMob significantly better, at this time some work is required by Selenium users before you can get started.
