Testing Effects

1. Testing Effects !!

2. 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

3. Basic Functionality • Play • Stop • End • Pause • Resume • Reverse

4. Basic Knobs • Duration • StartDelay • RepeatCount • RepeatDelay • Target/Targets

5. Basic Events • EffectStart • EffectUpdate • EffectRepeat • EffectEnd

6. 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.

7. Next Level – Simple Composite • Parallel / Sequence • Duration on parallel, duration on effect • Target on parallel, target on effect

8. Next Level - Complex Composite • Take simple composite • Add start delays, repeats, repeatDelays.

9. 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.

10. 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)
