Glad you found it helpful.

Good luck with the testing!

Ian, thanks for this wonderful and helpful description, now I am

So, I am now focusing to unit-test individual components.
I am using Jumpship framework :
1. The framework follows the Command Pattern
2. A controller function is called on command completion.

Is it possible to unit-test a Command, or do I need to break down
further?

Testing a command should be fine, but you should be mindful of its
dependencies.

 

Typically your command classes will invoke methods on other instances
and you will want to assert that these methods have been called.

be able to access the instances of these classes within your fixture
(test method).

That makes sense, now I'm curious about how describeType orders their methods!

I agree that it would be ideal if it were at least predictable, if not
controllable!

If anyone has ideas about how to get to predictable, definitely let us know.

i see i am violating a major principle of unit testing. :)

i'm testing functionality of services on my server via asunit tests on  
the client.  my individual tests look something like:

test 1: connect and create service
test 2: test service action 1
test 3: test service action 2
etc.

the actions are state-full and order dependent.

i take it you would recommend my tests look something like:

test 1: connect and create service

test 2: connect and create service
         test service action 1

test 3: connect and create service
         test service action 1
         test service action 2

etc.

now that i see the way and the light, i'll fix my tests.  :)

Re: [Asunit-users] Test Order

[Luke B. <lb...@pa...>]

I believe test methods are executed in the order that they're defined,
but that shouldn't matter at all.

No test method should interact with any other. They should each be
given a completely clean fixture / environment within which they
execute their operations.

If order is important, you may have much bigger problems than it seems.

Are you just concerned about the aesthetics, or is there a specific
reason order is important to you?

[Asunit-users] Test Order

[Robert H. <tr...@tr...>]

i'm using as3 (on os-x 10.5.4 with flex 3.0.0).  i can't get my tests  
to execute in a well defined order.  i've added a sort operation to  
the asunit code i use to force tests to execute in alphabetic order.   
the patch is appended to this message.

i have a few questions:

- is there a right and proper way to stipulate test order in asunit?

- if not, is my solution a reasonable one?

- if so, how would do i submit a patch to asunit?  :)

Re: [Asunit-users] Testing Event Driven Architecture

[Ian T. <Ia...@mo...>]

Are you wanting to test a custom visual component, or is it that your
class under test uses a visual component?

If you give me a bit more context then I could probably put together an
example.

 

It's important to understand that ASUnit is a unit testing framework,
not an integration testing framework.

It is designed to help verify behavior of a single unit of functionality
in your application, typically at single class/method level.

 

It's not really appropriate if you want to test the end-to-end
functionality of your application.

 

If you want to verify that when a user clicks a button a request is made
to the server, this would be an integration test.

 

You could however write several unit tests that cover the individual
components involved in the above scenario:

*         A test to verify that when a user clicks your button class a
click event is dispatched.

*         A test to verify that the consumer of your button event
performs a particular action (e.g. invoking a service).

*         A test to verify that a particular service call makes a
request with particular parameters.

 

Testing visual components has it's own challenges as you are usually
bound to concrete dependencies (flash core classes, library assets),
flash 8 made it more feasible technically to verify visual states (using
BitmapData) but I would be very clear about what I'm wanting to test and
whether ASUnit can actually help me achieve this.

 

I'm happy to help you with a specific example, but it's a bit difficult
to give you an abstract example that would actually be useful.

 

Thanks,

 

Ian

Hi Mudit,

Do you have an example of what you're trying to test?

The ease of testing will be based on how interdependent the components
of your architecture are. You should be aiming to reduce dependency on
concrete implementations (using interfaces and abstract classes).

If you are happy to post an example of what you're having difficulty
with, I can try to help.

Re: [Asunit-users] asunit3 > asunit25 back-port is complete and on my branch (Ian Tyrrell)

[Ian T. <Ia...@mo...>]

Hi Elliot,

The test suite for the port (located in framework-test/as25) includes
coverage of the new asynchronous features. I've also just copied
testAsyncFeature() verbatim from TestCaseExample to AsyncMethodTest and
for me it passes. I've compiled using Flash CS3 (targeting swf version
7/8 - 9 doesn't seem to work) and MTASC (not sure what the default
version is, possibly 7). I had to modify something to prevent
compilation errors in Flash, but if you update, it's all there.

So in summary, yes, addAsync() should be working on the branch.

Can you confirm if the test suite pass?

You just need to compile framework-test/as25/AsUnitTestRunner.as (with
-main for MTASC), or framework-test/as25/AsUnitTestRunner.fla if you're
using Flash (the .fla was saved for CS3).

Let me know the results of running the test suite, and hopefully I can
help you further from there.

Thanks,

Ian

Does this mean that addAsync() *should* work on the AS25 ityrrell
branch?

I updated my project's asunit package to the bits in r200 on your
sourceforge repo [0] and copied the testAsyncFeature() and
changeHandler()
from TestCaseExample.as into one of my testcases.  I added a trace to
the
changeHandler() function and it is never being called.

Should addAsync() be working?  My app needs to run in a FP6 environment
but
can run the test in a newer Flash Player build.  I've tested publishing
to
FP7 and FP8.
 
Thanks!

Re: [Asunit-users] Testing Event Driven Architecture

[Ian T. <Ia...@mo...>]

Hi Mudit,

Do you have an example of what you're trying to test?

The ease of testing will be based on how interdependent the components
of your architecture are. You should be aiming to reduce dependency on
concrete implementations (using interfaces and abstract classes).

If you are happy to post an example of what you're having difficulty
with, I can try to help.

Thanks,

Ian

I am new to AsUnit, and I followed few tutorials on how to unit test.
But I am somewhat confused on how to unit test with AsUnit an Event

[Asunit-users] Welcome Ian Tyrrell

[Luke B. <lb...@pa...>]

Hey Folks,

I just wanted to throw an official welcome out to Ian Tyrrell. He's
currently working to implement asynchronous queues for our
ActionScript 3 build, and then back-porting that functionality to the
ActionScript 2.5 release.

This means that in the near future, we'll all be able to add as many
asynchronous handlers as we need, and halt test execution until each
of them are called.

We're looking forward to working with Ian as we move forward with
AsUnit and just wanted to throw a public shout out.


Thanks Ian!

Thanks for the link.

--> Supports AIR, Flex 3, Flex 2 and pure AS3 (Sprite based) test
applications.

Unfortunately I need as2 support, so as-is this won't fit my

Re: [Asunit-users] asunit3 > asunit25 back-port is complete and on my branch

[Luke B. <lb...@pa...>]

Hey Folks,

I sent out an introduction last week, but it's been held up by some
mail server error.

Ali and I have added Ian Tyrrell as a developer on AsUnit and he has
been working hard to get some updates in place for all of us.

Thanks so much for all your work on this Ian!

Those of you that are working with ActionScript 3, please try out
Ian's branch and let us know if it works for you. The ActionScript 3
branch should be a drop-in replacement for previous versions. Ian has
added the ability to call 'addAsync' multiple times in the same
method. Test execution should be paused until each callback has been
executed. In previous versions, we could only call addAsync once
within a particular test method.

You can pull the latest ActionScript 3 branch into your current
working directory with:

svn co http://asunit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/asunit/branches/ityrrell/framework/as3
.


Thanks again Ian!

[Asunit-users] asunit3 > asunit25 back-port is complete and on my branch

[Ian T. <Ia...@mo...>]

Hello list,

 

I've finished the back-port of asunit3 to asunit25 (for actionscript 2
FP7+) and it's now available on my branch:

 

https://asunit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/asunit/branches/ityrrell

 

This includes my revision to asunit3 that allows multiple async calls in
setUp / test* methods.

 

I've also ported the tests that had been written against asunit3 and
used these to verify that it's working as expected. The tests do not
have 100% coverage so there will almost certainly still be some bugs.

 

Please note that this port has ignored the previous asunit25 API
including helper methods for attaching movieClips / creating new
movieClips AND the previous AsynchronousTestCase class that could be
used for loading XML data. N.B. this isn't quite a drop-in replacement
for existing users taking advantage of these methods (yet). I propose
that people use the far more flexible addAsync(), but am open to
suggestions for a broader range of additional support for tests. I also
plan to re-implement the movieclip related helper methods and am open to
suggestions of additional functionality.

 

Another idea I have is a set of utilities that dynamically override
aspects of the core API that will allow easier testing of tightly
coupled classes. More specifically things that are currently difficult
to test such as simulating mouse / keyboard interaction.

 

There is still light for those of us stuck with AS2 (for the time
being)!

 

Thanks.

 

Ian Tyrrell

Re: [Asunit-users] [asunit-users] backport ofaddAsyncinframework/25 ?

[Luke B. <lb...@pa...>]

Sorry this took me a minute to catch.

About the back-port naming....

Let's internally append a version number to the end, like 2.5.2. We
can just update the source trunk in the same location with this
enhancement. Meaning I'd rather not see folders in SVN like:

as2
as25
as26
as3

We've been struggling with version numbers and the first/second
numbers are basically referencing the supported version of
ActionScript. Even though Adobe hasn't come out and named a version of
AS "2.5", that's essentially what they do when they modify the
language in between player versions.

So let's keep the version control folders looking like:

as2
as25
as3

Thanks!


Luke
