Flex automation testing
I would like to ask for your opion, if you are an Automation Test Engineer, especially, on the best automation tool there is for test automation of a Flex application?
I did a google search, and came up with Selenium, and another tool called "Test Anywhere." Now what kind of a name is that for a tool. Maybe it is TAW, which stands for something else.
Just kidding I don't know.
I'll continue searching, yet I ask, what automation tool have you used for testing Flex?

Have you looked at flexunit? http://flexunit.org
Check FlexMonkey, or wait when I will release opensource JS FlexDoor http://code.google.com/p/flexdoor/

by: dgofman, Great, good luck. Unfortunately, I need a tool today :)
by: petiex, interesting, my seach on the internet did not show this. I'll take a look at it. Do you know how much depends on the use of Actionscript?

petiex and dgofman, you are both right. petiex has a touch of humor.
I started off with automation, because I am also trying to understand how automation fits in with scrum development. I saw a youtube lecture/training video whereby they are labeling unit testing as "automation." That isn't the type of testing I would call automation, but getting back to the subject of simply testing Flex. dgofman, thank you for those added links. I will go take a look at them. I am concern about both types of testing; unit done with flexunit and regression automation done with Flexmonkey.
I will be issuing the points, shortly, no need to add more to this conversation.
Thank you both, and dgofman I encourage you to come up with another flex tool, if it is better than the rest :)
I do not like that Flexunit looks to be in its infancy stages, but I will work with what there is.
