Mustella is a test framework that automates manual testing of the Flex SDK. Whenever changes are made to the SDK, Mustella should be used to validate the changes. This is important to be able to identify when something breaks the current Flex SDK looks and functionality.

Mustella is a resource hog. It has a tendency to use large amounts of memory and processing power while it is running. It can also take a long time to complete. Try to run the tests using the component specific mini_run if possible.

Full Mustella Test

To run all of the Mustella tests - this will take many hours to complete.

./mini_run.sh -all

Component Specific Tests

To run a sub set of test you can specify the directory the test live in. For instance to run the mx:Combobox tests you would type:

./mini_run.sh tests/components/Combobox

To run a specific test script you can specify the relative path to the corresponding mxml file. For instance, to run ComboBasePropertyTester.mxml you would type:

 ./mini_run.sh tests/components/ComboBox/Properties/ComboBasePropertyTester.mxml

You can even target one single test case inside a test script, using -caseName option. For instance, to run combobase_properties_text case i the script above, you would type the following:

./mini_run.sh -caseName=combobase_properties_text  tests/components/ComboBox/Properties/ComboBasePropertyTester.mxml

Re-running Failed Tests

If one or more test fail you can rerun just the failing tests and save some time by typing:

./mini_run.sh -failures
