Testing flash applications on web using selenium
I want to test Microstrategy applications using any web testing tools. I figured out seleniun serves my purpose well. But microstrategy applications are deployed in flash formats. Please help me to guide how to test these flash applications is there any tool available? Can I use selenium only and how to use? Thanks in advance
Answer
Selenium cannot interact with Flash objects.
You can use FlashSelenium, which is quite old but seems to work:
http://code.google.com/p/flash-selenium/
Or use Sikuli, Adobe's 'Genie' library, or Ranorex's library:
http://sourceforge.net/adobe/genie/wiki/Home/ http://www.ranorex.com/product/automated-ui-testing-of-flash-flex-applications.html http://www.sikuli.org/
There is very limited tools and information for Flash UI Testing.
Another alternative is to interact with it directly using Javascript.
