Screencast: Testing Flex Apps with Cucumber

I was playing with Cucumber and FunFx to drive a Flex application and it's really cool and created this screencast to show how this all works together. The first 5 minutes I build a Restfulx scaffolded Flex application. The following 5 minutes I configure the Flex app with FunFx, which is required to be able to drive the app from Cucumber. Then the main part which is 20 minutes of creating three cucumber scenarios that drives the Flex application. Check it out:

Testing Flex Apps with Cucumber from daniel wanja The source code can be found on github Enjoy! Daniel
UPDATE: An updated version (and slightly) different version of the screencast can be found here.

    I am pretty sure they call it a “stuffed” or “stuffy” nose :)
    You have a funny accent when you talk, and the name is also unusual. Daniel is a common name in many cultures but Wanja… I cannot tell where your come from :)

    As the creator of Cucumber (and actually much of the code in FunFX) I can say that this is a great introduction to both tools.

    Xavier Celibataire: Your name is French, and since you can’t recognise a French accent (which I’m 99% sure Daniel’s is) I assume you have French or Canadian ancestors, but don’t speak French yourself? ;-)

    Am I right?

    how would cucumber and funFX handle situations where a lot of data is changing dynamically, or it may take a long time to load certain data. I am new to testing felx apps and would like to know how this approach will handle flex on rails apps that grow beyond basic scaffolding :)

    Thanks
