Refactor

The only refactoring that you are interested in doing is adding a Metadata to point to the

RetrieveInformationEvent event, so you can get code hints when implementing the class in Flex. Add

the following code to the beginning of the GetEmployeesInfo class:

[Event(name="retriveInformation", type="utils.events.RetrieveInformationEvent")]

You can download the complete example from http://code.google.com/p/advancedflex4/. See

Chapter 1, example: FlexUnitWithTDDExample.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered FlexUnit 4 and Test Driven Development (TDD). We started by giving you an

overview of FlexUnit 4 then we showed you how to create Test Suite, Test Case, and test runner classes.

We covered all the assertion methods available in FlexUnit4, asynchronous Tests, and exception handling.

We also covered the FlexUnit 4 additional assertion methods such as Hamcrest, theories, tests, and

testing User Interfaces.

In the second part of the chapter, we discussed test-driven development with FlexUnit 4. We showed you

how to write a failed test case, write code, test passed, and refractor your code. We hope you are inspired

to use TDD on your mobile, web, and desktop Flash applications to write better, more scalable, and more

reusable code.
