Hi, =20 This is probably as newbie as they come......I'm being strongly encouraged to implement Unit Testing for the Flash development work we do. I've just come across AsUnit Ui and from what I can see it looks like it is an ideal tool that we could use. But I've only got a vague understanding of Unit Testing is, and I've got no real idea how to implement it, or how to use/implement AsUnit Ui. =20 =20 Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is anyone interested in sharing their experiences in how they started Unit testing? =20 =20 Thanks =20 =20 Alison Woodage Lead Educational Programmer Centre for Learning Innovation 51 Wentworth Ave Strathfield 2135 02 9715 8389 =20 ********************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.

This is a great question! The single best source that I've found is the book, "Test Driven Developmen= t by Example" from Kent Beck. This book really cleared up a lot of questions for Ali and I. I also got a lot of inspiration from the Gang of Four Design Patterns book = - this book helped me see the underlying (testable) object structures that ar= e behind gui systems... Anyone else?

I just found that Kent Beck book in my apartment! Not sure exactly where it came from. Anyway... it looks pretty good!

unit testing was a pain for me in the begining, i hated writing proper tests, always slacked and paid the price for it later. when i got into unit testing full-on i found my life became so much easier when bugs were filled against me. you get a bug, follow the steps to recreate it, notice a new edge case, write it up and voila you have broken tests. also once you have several people working on a project with a proper continues integration system, you find yourself in a world where if any tes= t breaks with checked in code, everybody gets notified. very few things slip underneath the radar like that... i am a lazy sod however so i use automated ways of creating my test shells and the like, i would advice you to do the same.

Thanks everyone for the references and starting points.
