[worldKit-dev] AS3 / Flex Version?

[Mikel Maron]

That makes sense to me. I wouldn't want to hold off on AS3 porting until tests are in place, though we could make a suite of tests a condition of moving that branch into the main branch at some future date.

Hi all,
from a software-engineering perspective, I highly recommend building
unit tests into worldKit/AS3.

I know we're keen to move along and get the AS3 port underway, but
there may be merit in adding ASUnit unit-tests to the AS2 version.  We
would add the tests to the AS2 version, then run them to check
everything works and that we're getting the correct answers/responses.

Then as we create the AS3 port, we just keep running the unit-tests to
verify that everything that worked previously still works.
Test-driven development...

Does it make sense to anybody?  I'm afraid I've no experience with
ASUnit, but can see it supports our target versions of Flash &
Actionscript, and can be utilised in commercial or open source IDEs.
