Using FlexUnit for Stress Testing

I saw quite a few questions in the forums on how to stress test a Flex application. I thought about it and came up with an idea that I want to share here. I think FlexUnit can be used for stress testing. It is not that difficult. I simply add multiple test runners for each client application and run all of them asynchronously. Here is the example of the FlexUnit runner: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" xmlns:flexunit="flexunit.flexui.*" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import flexunit.framework.TestSuite; import test.TemperatureConverterTest; import test.ArrayUtilTest; import mx.collections.ArrayCollection; import flexunit.flexui.TestRunnerBase; [Bindable] public var testClients:ArrayCollection; public var NUMBER_OF_TESTS:int = 100; private function onCreationComple...

Building a Flex project with Ant

Here is a quick sample on how to build a simple Flex "hello world" project with Ant. The "hello world" project contains a src folder with one Flex application file and an Ant build.xml file: ./project_home/ ./src/ app.mxml build.xml The app.mxml is the main module of the project.

MySQL macport install on Mac OS X Tiger

I have installed mysql5 macport on the MacBookPro laptop running OS X Tiger 10.4. There are a few steps that needs to be done once the port is installed. These steps are not documented (see Ticket #12694 on macports.org). So, after reading a few blogs and analyzing mysql startup error messages, I figured out what needs to be done in order to get it running. That info might be useful to others, so I’ve decided to publish the solution here. First of all, we need to create the initial database database $ sudo /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql Here is the output of the command: $ sudo ./mysql_install_db --user=mysql Installing MySQL system tables... 071118 0:06:29 [Warning] Setting lower_case_table_names=2 because file system for /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/ is case insensitive OK Filling help tables... 071118 0:06:29 [Warning] Setting lower_case_table_names=2 because file system for /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/ is case insensitive OK To start mysqld at boot time you hav...
