I’m glad to announce thatFluorida0.0.1 (the first preview release) is out. The project homepage ishttp://fluorida.googlecode.com

Fluoridais a Flex/Flash functional testing tool. It manipulates Flash just asreal users do. It allows testers write test cases with simple but stillexpressive DSL. What makes Fluorida different is that it doesn’t relyonmx.automationpackage, which is only available inFlex Builder Professional Edition. Otherfunctionaltesting tools such as HP QuickTest Professional (formerly Mercury QuickTest Professional) andFunFXdepend onmx.automationpackage but fortunately it seems like that dependency is not necessaryto a Flex functional testing tool – Fluorida is the evidence.

Version0.0.1 is the first preview release. The main purpose is to gatherfeedbacks from the community. So far Fluorida has a basic “Tester” UIand it runs both locally and in web environment. It supports somefundamental actions. Check out theonlinedemoandget startedhere.

What’s next? It really depends on the feedback. We have a couple of things remaining on ourTODO list,however the future direction is largely undecided yet. We are willingto see how people use it and figure out what to do in followingreleases. Therefore, your suggestion and feedback would be highlyappreciated.
