dpuint
Not DB, DP (Digital Primates)
Not Unit, Uint (Unit and Integration testing)
As far as I can tell so far it has an improved unit testing framework over FlexUnit, and has additional features, possibly also a GUI driven test runner for Flash apps.
From their website:
It adds support for:
- Multiple simultaneous asynchronous operations
- Asynchronous setup and teardown
- Asynchronous returns before method body completion
- Support for UIComponent testing
- Support for test sequences
- Support for testing Cairngorm commands and controllers
- XML output of testing results
- Support for auto-reload and test running based on directory watching (optional with AIR client)
Two questions–
1. Are asyc fixtures desirable (what do they mean by asyc?)
2. What is Cairngorm?
Is this the tool we want, or a step in the right direction? I think that there’s always improvement on the xUnit frameworks. Dependent tests and other Functional Testing centric features make TestNG far superior. Maybe by asyc setUp and tearDown they mean like @beforeClass and @afterClass.
FlexUnit supposedly has capability to output so JunitHtmlReport can digest it. That’s nice. What does dpUint and ASUnit offer?
