I've built an add on for ASUnit (which I love) and I believe it also works in flex unit - it's called Roboteyes and essentially it gives you drivers and utilities for display objects in the display list so that you can interact with them and validate their state.

Although FlexUnit has been around for a while it wasn’t intuitive to set up and there were a lot of inconsistencies with the documentation. Lucky for us, FlexUnit is now built into Flash Builder 4. Although the documentation is still sparse, this tutorial will be a good primer for setting up a Test Suite, going over several unit test examples and showing how to run/analyze them.

I may have over exaggerated that statement. I really meant it is relatively new to main stream Flash Development. I had looked into ASUnit a while ago and was very happy to see a push for Unit Testing in Flash. I still feel that Unit Testing is a little hard to implement in such a visual programing language but I see it as a big help to heavy data driven Flex sites. I think that by having Adobe include wizards and FlexUnit into the editor/sdk it will help make unit testing more common practice. I would be very interested to see how many people who read this plan to or are already using unit testing in their own projects? Yes you are absolutely correct.

AsUnit has been around since early 2004, and we've been running TDD with ActionScript (and later Flex) projects since at least that time. There have also been a variety of GUI test generators that we've released over the years to support creating test cases and test suites in ActionScript.

BTW - savvy use Flash Camo ;) mmmm, brain food…another info-packed tut, provides a great basis for exploration, thank you Jesse.
