[osflash] AsUnit 2.6 Released!

[Ralf Bokelberg]

Interesting question, i think.

You could achieve it by the convention only to commit code, which passes 
all the tests. If you update your codebase in the morning, and run the 
tests too, and they break, you can assume, that the last commit wasn't 
ok. Additionally you could arrange it so people have to commit a 
testprotocol too.

To achieve the same using technology, we would need to automatically 
compile all tests on the fly, run them and write the results back into 
some file. This would take some executable, which wraps the flashplayer 
and enables the test.swf to write to the filesystem. Additionally you 
need a new TestRunner class, which does just that, collect the results 
and writes them to a file.

The main problem i can see with the technological approach, is to create 
  and keep up to date all this different tools for your server's os. I'd 
rather go with convention.

Cheers,
Ralf.
