FlexMonkey 1.0 Released
Gorilla Logic Announces Release of FlexMonkey 1.0, an Open Source Tool for Testing Adobe Flex RIAs
FlexMonkey Brings the Power of Professional Record/Playback Test Automation Tools to Adobe Flex Development
Gorilla Logic, firm known industry-wide for providing “gorilla” consultants that deliver a 10X productivity improvement over other options, today announced the release of FlexMonkey 1.0. FlexMonkey, an open source testing tool for optimizing automated and unit testing of Adobe Flex RIAs, is another example of Gorilla Logic’s commitment to assisting clients and the market in developing the highest-quality applications possible.
”Adobe Flex is the leading standard for enterprise RIA development. When developing Flex-based mission-critical systems for our clients, we needed a production-quality testing tool that would tightly integrate with Flex Builder and FlexUnit,” said Eric Owens, FlexMonkey Product Manager. “FlexMonkey 1.0 is the answer to that need: by automating our interface testing with record/playback functionality, we provide higher quality solutions to our clients. We feel strongly that FlexMonkey should be free and open-sourced, and we’re now providing clients with FlexMonkey training as well as FlexMonkey-based testing services.”
Available since October 2008, Gorilla Logic has used FlexMonkey with a diverse set of clients in a variety of industries ranging from financial services to aerospace to media. During each project FlexMonkey has been an integral part of Gorilla Logic’s quality assurance for clients. Based on this proven value and their unique experience, Gorilla Logic is now offering FlexMonkey Training as well as Testing Services for Adobe Flex applications.
“We have been using FlexMonkey since October 2008 to test our Flex Applications interactively. We evaluated several interactive testing tools, and found FlexMonkey to be much lighter and more agile than the expensive products, even outperforming them in several areas. It is a great product, and the support from the Gorilla Logic team has been superb,” said Tracy Ellis, Manager, SAS (www.sas.com).
FlexMonkey 1.0 is an open-source solution for testing Adobe Flex RIAs and can be downloaded from flexmonkey.gorillalogic.com.

hi,
does the version 1.0 support testing flex 4 swfs?
saurabh
Hi Saurabh:
No, it does not. We are working with Adobe to add this support.
Cheers,
Eric
great tool. is flexmonkey just for testing flex projects, that use the flex components?
or can you also use it for flash projects compiled with the flex compiler, but not using the flex framework components?
thx a lot
It only works with Flex components.
Any updates on Flex 4 support?
Again, the same question: when we can hope for support for Flex 4? We are starting a new project, using Flex 4 and need to decide whether to count FlexMonkey in or not. If we know it should be within 2-3 months, it’s fine. But we need some info.
Is flex support the flex version 4
We should have Flex 4 support ready soon!
