The latter exposes the Flex DOM from what I hear. I have been meaning to try this but havent gotten into it yet, but you can use selenium combined with the flex-ajax bridge.

I'll use Service Capture and capture a comprehensive call to my CFC (every field completed with maximum data). Then, I'll take that data and create my unit test in CF with same mock data. To Debug: On the client, I'll add try/catch statements to every method, and throw an exception. In CF, I'll generate a PDF on each exception or error. For me, this has been the best way to test and debug Flex Applications. hth Hi Jim,

On CF/Flex projects, I’ll usually do the following:

I’ll use Service Capture to record a bare-minimum call to my CFC (only the bare minimum fields complete with mimimum data).

I’ll use Service Capture and capture a comprehensive call to my CFC (every field completed with maximum data).

Then, I’ll take that data and create my unit test in CF with same mock data.

To Debug:
On the client, I’ll add try/catch statements to every method, and throw an exception.

In CF, I’ll generate a PDF on each exception or error.

For me, this has been the best way to test and debug Flex Applications.

Will it do tests at the application level also (similar to Selenium?) Andra - looks like some promising links! I had seen Silk before but I have heard it is very expensive.
