>Yes the Marshall Plan is not about units, but I assume there is some visio=

Alex,

I don't think we can ship a valid release by just unit testing. I think uni=
t testing is one of many types of tests we need for a valid release. That's=
 why I still think mustella is very important. I am sure we can figure out =
a way to work on something that can do what we need. FlexUnit runs tests in=
 isolation, prototype version actually runs all tests in their own domain, =
but right now it doesn't have the idea of bridging a test run across multip=
le invocations of the Flash Player. All tests are done within a single invo=
cation. So, just something to be brainstormed as well.

Cheers,
Mike
