FlexUnit intergration test examples and documentation

Hello,

I've read somewhere that RobotLegs framework is "highly testable" so I've decided to throw myself into the unit testing world... I'm a total newbie in the field and I must say that after a few hours of research, it is almost impossible to find a good implementation example with an exhaustive documentation. Here are the missing elements that would help me a lot to get started:

• A full RobotLegs projet implementing FlexUnit 4 (with meta tags) with, if possible, an example of asynchronous testing of a remote service call via amfphp (or any amf...).
• Optionally, in the same example project, add a mocking example using Mokito (or another one).
• A tutorial/article explaining the best practices (where to put the test classes, when do we need to write a Suite, how to test modules or projects split into several Flash builder projects) and if possible what are the best practices in a RL project, what is the most relevant to test (views, mediator, commands, models, services, events....) giving examples.
• An exhaustive documentation of FlexUnit 4 (JavaDoc like) explaining the different classes with a few examples (for example I was unable to find a good documentation explaining the differences between all the asynchrounous functions proceedOnEvent, failOnEvent, handleEvent etc.).

So please tell me that I just suck at searching the web and that those resources actually exist already :)

Thank you for your help!

   Hi Migs,

   Good questions!

   I know that I’m not answering your questions, and I’m sorry for that, but maybe the following links will help you, at least a little bit, to get started. Not sure if you already saw them.

   Here are the examples from ActionScript Developer's Guide to Robotlegs – look at the tests:
