We're excited (especially since now we can finally get some sleep) to announce the availability of FoneMonkey 4.2, the latest incarnation of Gorilla Logic's free and open source functional testing tool for iOS apps on the iPhone and iPad.

FoneMonkey 4.2 includes numerous bug fixes and adds several significant new features including:

• Generation of ready-to-run OCUnit test scripts - Automatically convert "native" FoneMonkey test scripts to Objective-C code that can be extended with Objective-C control logic to add control flow or data-driving logic to your tests.
• Generation of ready-to-run JavaScript-based tests for Apple's UIAutomation Framework - Automatically convert "native" FoneMonkey scripts to JavaScript code that can be run in Apple's Automation Instrument. You can uyse FoneMonkey to record UIAutomation scripts which allows for test scripts to be maintained in JavaScript rather than Objective-C. Since these UIAutomation scripts require no FoneMonkey libraries to run, they can be executed against "release" builds of your application.
• Recording and Playback of Device Rotation - You can record and playback device rotations on the simulator or on devices.
  

This release is a significant step forward in the maturing of the FoneMonkey project. Thanks to the members of the FoneMonkey community for providing the feedback and support essential to making FoneMonkey a continuing success.

FoneMonkey 4.2 is available for download at http://www.gorillalogic.com/fonemonkey.

Happy testing!

I'll be presenting Automating iOS User Interface Testing with FoneMonkey at iPhone/iPad DevCon East in April. FoneMonkey is a free and open source, record/playback functional testing tool for native iPhone and iPad apps. If you're going to DevCon, come on by and check out the monkey!

We are pleased to announce the newest version of FlexMonkium, Gorilla Logic's plugin that adds Flex recording and playback capabilities to the Selenium web testing framework. FlexMonkium 4.1.4, available for download from www.gorillalogic.com/flexmonkey.

FlexMonkium 4.1.4 includes some important enhancements, bug fixes and usability features including:

• Support for running FlexMonkey tests in Internet Explorer with Selenium-RC. Previous versions of FlexMonkium only supported Firefox.
• Bug fixes for the getFlexMonkeyValue command, which now reliably retrieves values from properties and table cells.
• Commands can now be made to wait for a component to appear before executing. For example, a command for clicking on a button will wait for the button to appear before attempting to click it.
• Ability to verify (or retrieve) values for property path expressions. For example, you can verify the number of rows in a DataGrid with the path expression "dataProvider.length".
• By default, all commands and verifies are now recorded as "WaitFor..." commands, which eliminates the need in most cases to slow or pause script execution to give components time to appear on the display.
• The XML recorded by Selenium-IDE for FlexMonkey commands has been simplified to make reading and editing easier.

FlexMonkium 4.1.4 is the successor to FlexMonkium 1.1. We changed the version numbering so that it syncs up with FlexMonkey version numbering (which we in turn changed last year to sync up with Flex version numbering).

To upgrade to FlexMokium 4.1.4, install the new console and download the new zip file. Upgrade the Firefox plugin by opening flexmonkium.xpi in Firefox. You will need to compile your app with the latest automation_monkey swc file. You will additionally need to use the new version of user-extensions.js with Selenium-RC.

Happy testing!

We are very excited today to announce the availability of FlexMonkium, a plugin that adds FlexMonkey recording and playback to Selenium, the popular, open source, web testing framework.

FlexMonkium provides for the testing of hybrid applications consisting of both Flex and HTML components by seamlessly interleaving the recording and playback of Flex and HTML interactions. Recorded tests can be output as JUnit-based scripts that can be extended with Java-based testing logic, and that can be run from build scripts and continuous integration processes.

You can download FlexMonkium from http://www.gorillalogic.com/flexmonkium.
