Debugging and testing

This chapter’s purpose is to give you a sampling of all the weaponry available both

out of the box and in the form of third-party tools, to help speed up the process of

developing in Flex from a tooling perspective. Flex Builder comes with a full-blown

debugger that allows you to step through the code and watch the value of variables

in real time. And new to Flex 3 is the Profiler, which lets you analyze how memory

and resources are consumed.

Beyond what comes out of the box, the Flex and Flash ecosystem provides tools

from open source and low-cost solutions to full-blown enterprise test-automation

packages that will help speed up your debugging and testing. You may not get into

the more advanced tooling for a while, but from the start you’ll need simple ways to

figure out why things aren't working. Let’s begin by discussing how you can debug

your Flex applications.
