ApacheCon EU 2014

We experience a growing number of mobile phones, tablets, phablets, smart TV and similar devices flooding the market almost every day.
Capturing the specification of each device is a tough job. If you want to create a comfortable user experience you need dynamic content according to hardware and browser specifications of your device. That’s the reason why Device Description Repositories (DDR) exist.

Apache DeviceMap is a collaborative effort to create a comprehensive open-source and open-data repository of device information, images and other relevant information for all types of mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, smart TV, etc.. Much of the code was donated from the OpenDDR project, and participants come from many different companies.

The project began in January 2012, later that year OpenDDR contributed DDR APis for Java and. NET. Ongoing steps are a common device repository, a storage structure and maintenance of device data by the Apache community.

FlexUnit has finally cleared Adobe's legal team been donated to the Apache Flex project and made it into it's first release.

In this session I go though how to efficiently unit test an Apache Flex application. I'll start with the basics by showing how to write and run simple Flex Unit tests. Then moving on to how to refactor your code so that it is testable and show several methods to pragmatically test your application. I'll cover a few more advanced topics including asynchronous unit testing, testing event dispatch and UI testing with FlexUnit. Finally for a bit of fun I'll show how FlexUnit can be used in Jenkins and the build status shown via Open Source Hardware Arduino traffic light shield.
