Testing Effects

!!

All Effects

• https://zerowing.corp.adobe.com/display/flex/mx.effects+-+Basic+Test+Plan

• Watch the effect, understand it.• Verify it works• Verify it works in Parallel• Verify it works in Sequence• Verify it works in Transition

Basic Functionality

• Play• Stop • End• Pause• Resume• Reverse

Basic Knobs

• Duration• StartDelay• RepeatCount• RepeatDelay• Target/Targets

Basic Events

• EffectStart• EffectUpdate• EffectRepeat• EffectEnd

First Level – Simple Effect

• Test the effect by itself• Verify it works when tweaking the basic knobs

while calling the basic functionality.• Verify it works with a variety of targets – not

everyone that exists – just a sample that represents the majority of components in the framework.

Next Level – Simple Composite

• Parallel / Sequence• Duration on parallel, duration on effect• Target on parallel, target on effect

Next Level - Complex Composite

• Take simple composite• Add start delays, repeats, repeatDelays.

Next Level – Combinatorial Composite

• Add other effects.• Stagger with delays• Again, targets on composite, targets on

effects.• Same target on composite, or multiple targets

in effects• Multiple effects, some with overlapping

durations and overlapping targets.

Next Level - Transitions

• Simple effect in transition.• Composite wrapped effect in transition.• Complex composite “”• Combinatorial composite “” <- Approaching

Thermo• Thermo composite in transition. (Thermo’ish)• Add/remove items in transition. (Thermo’ish)• Multi-group in transition. (Thermo’ish)
