Note: This project is no longer under active development. Use at your own risk.

An automated testing library for Apache FlexJS and transpiled ActionScript.

Defining Tests

Add [Test] metadata to a function to mark it as a test. The TestRunner will automatically detect this function when it runs.

package
{
	import nextgenas.test.assert.Assert;

	public class SomeComponentTests
	{
		[Test]
		public function testSomethingImportant():void
		{
			var expectedValue:Number = 1;
			var actualValue:Number = 2 - 1;
			Assert.strictEqual(expectedValue, actualValue,
				"The values are not equal!");
		}
	}
}

Running Tests

Create a TestRunner and pass all classes with tests to the run() method.

package
{
	import nextgenas.test.TestRunner;

	public class ProjectTests
	{
		public function ProjectTests()
		{
			this._runner = new TestRunner();

			//will print result of tests to the console with trace()
			new TraceListener(this._runner);

			this._runner.run(new <Class>
			[
				SomeComponentTests
				//add more classes with tests here
			]);
		}

		private var _runner:TestRunner;
	}
}

A TraceListener may be created to print results to the console using trace(). Alternatively, you can listen for events dispatched by the TestRunner and respond with custom logic.
