Announcement: Fluorida 0.0.1

I'm glad to announce that Fluorida 0.0.1 (the first preview release) is out. The project homepage is http://fluorida.googlecode.com

 

Fluorida is a Flex/Flash functional testing tool. It manipulates Flash just as real users do. It allows testers write test cases with simple but still expressive DSL. What makes Fluorida different is that it doesn't rely on mx.automation package, which is only available in Flex Builder Professional Edition. Other functional testing tools such as HP QuickTest Professional (formerly Mercury QuickTest Professional) and FunFX depend on mx.automation package but fortunately it seems like that dependency is not necessary to a Flex functional testing tool -- Fluorida is the evidence.

 

Version 0.0.1 is the first preview release. The main purpose is to gather feedbacks from the community. So far Fluorida has a basic "Tester" UI and it runs both locally and in web environment. It supports some fundamental actions. Check out the online demo and get started here.

 

What's next? It really depends on the feedback. We have a couple of things remaining on our TODO list, however the future direction is largely undecided yet. We are willing to see how people use it and figure out what to do in following releases. Therefore, your suggestion and feedback would be highly appreciated.

<p>中文版。感谢<a href='http://www.morpheus.org.cn/?q=blog/cleverpig' target='_blank'>CleverPig</a>的支持。原文在<a href='http://www.morpheus.org.cn/?q=content/flexflash%E5%8A%9F%E8%83%BD%E6%80%A7%E6%B5%8B%E8%AF%95%E5%B7%A5%E5%85%B7%E2%80%9Cfluorida%E2%80%9D%E5%8F%91%E5%B8%83' target='_blank'>这里</a>。</p><p> </p><h2 class='content-title'>Flex/Flash功能性测试工具“Fluorida”发布</h2><div class='content'>
    <p>Matrix社区原文链接：<a href='http://www.matrix.org.cn/resource/news/7cf0239a-ebe6-11dc-91da-b599c3ba16ef.html' class='bb-url'>http://www.matrix.org.cn/resource/news/7cf0239a-ebe6-11dc-91da-b599c3ba16ef.html</a></p><p> </p>

<p>2008年3月7日，国内著名敏捷技术布道者“熊节”发布了<a href='http://code.google.com/p/fluorida/' class='bb-url'>Fluorida</a> 0.0.1 (第一个预览版)。此项目主要在<a href='http://fluorida.googlecode.com/'>http://fluorida.googlecode.com</a>。值得一提的是Fluorida团队中还有一位知名的XRuby贡献者<a href='http://code.google.com/u/dreamhead.cn/' class='bb-url'>dreamhead</a>。</p><p> </p>

<p>Fluorida是一种Flex/Flash功能性测试工具。它如真实用户一般操作Flash，并且允许测试者使用简单而又不失表达力的DSL编写测试用例。Fluorida非常不同之处就是它不依赖与mx.automation包，后者只能在<a href='http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/features/flex_builder/' class='bb-url'>Flex Builder Professional Edition</a>中使用。其它的功能型测试工具如HP QuickTest专业版（从前称为Mercury QuickTest 专业版）、<a href='http://funfx.rubyforge.org/' class='bb-url'>FunFX</a>都依赖mx.automation包，但幸运的是对于Flex功能性测试工具来讲，似乎这种依赖关系是不必需。——Fluorida就是例证！</p><p> </p>

<p>0.0.1版本是第一个预览版本，其主要目的在于收集社区反馈。就像前面所讲的，Fluorida已经具有了基本的"Tester" UI，它能够在本地和web环境下运行，并且支持一些基本action。请在这里查看<a href='http://fluorida.thoughtworkers.org/tester/open?suite=default.fls' class='bb-url'>在线demo</a>和阅读<a href='http://code.google.com/p/fluorida/wiki/GettingStarted' class='bb-url'>相关文档</a>。</p><p> </p>

<p>下一步如何？它确实依赖于反馈，Fluorida团队在他们的<a href='http://code.google.com/p/fluorida/source/browse/trunk/TODO' class='bb-url'>TODO list</a>中有一堆要做的事情，但未来的发展方向还是个很大的未知数，他们希望看到社区开发者使用它并指出哪些需要完善，因此你的建议和反馈是倍受感激的“礼物”。</p>  </div>
