Question

I need to write and test xmlStuff.as. I would like to test it on its own without launching the entire application (launched with index.mxml).

Project
    Folder: src
        Package: Default Package
            - index.mxml
        Package: com
            Package: ourCompany
                Package: ourProduct
                    Package: util
                        XmlStuff.as
                    Package: ...

If I was using java what I would do is I would create a new package:

com.ourCompany.ourProduct.util.test

And I would put this code in it:

public class xmlStuffTester {

    public static void main(String [] args){

        XmlStuff xs = new XmlStuff();
        // Test methods..
        System.out.println(xs.method1());

    }

}

(Alternatly I would write a unit test if I knew exactly what the xml output should be. I don’t know that yet so I prefer the above approach.)

Question: What is the standard way to do this in Flex builder?

Answer 1

You should create unit test for that. Read more info in official documentation.
