I have a Flex Application that needs to be tested and our QA department is really adament on using some form of automated-testing tools like HP's QuickTest Pro (QTP). However, QTP requires that you write some custom code if you wish to automate some home-made components... Unfortunately, we have some 3rd-party components which we do not have the source code so we can't really the custom code without having the 3rd-party component's source code.

Is there any existing framework and/or tools that would allow me to automate testing without having to write custom code that could be used by a non-programmer (i.e. A QA guy which has no idea what a pointer is)

I've taken a quick-look at Flex-Monkey (A free open-source software) which seems to be a promising project, but it's still in it's infancy and I need something soon (i.e. Yesterday)

Any ideas?

I've just released a new version of the SeleniumFlex API, bringing it up to 0.2.5.

This fixes release a lot of major issue and probably makes the API the best free alternative for Flex test automation. You can get it on sourceforge here: Selenium-Flex API

EDIT Update:

The project has moved to Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/sfapi/
