Flex support

IBM Rational Functional Tester supports testing functional aspects of Adobe Flex applications. You can record and playback scripts against Flex-based user interfaces inside a Web browser and verify that the application functions correctly.

IBM Rational Functional Tester supports testing Flex applications that are built using Flex SDK 2.0.1, 3.0, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 or 4.0 (excluding Spark components).

You can test the following list of controls in the Flex applications:
