Flex”i”MMI

My new application is now available for download.

This is a specialized application for software testers as its goals is to convert mind mapping files to xml files that can be imported in a test management tool - Testlink for this very first version.

Using mind mapping, you can easily and quickly define and collect information about test requirements or test definition. With Mind2Tests, you can easily import your mind maps to your preferred test management tool. The time spent to produce test cases is then reduced.

Technically, Mind2Tests has been written for Adobe AIR using the Flex beta SDK 4. and the MATE framework.

Have fun and don’t hesitate to send me feebacks, suggestions and bugs.

Mind2Tests is an application developped for AIR. Its goal is to accelerate the generation of tests by creating a bridge between mind mapping tools and test management tools.

The very early versions were developped on Flex SDK 3 but I changed my mind and finally used this projet as an introduction to Flex 4. As I love challenges, I also used for the first time the now famous MATE framework.

Here are the main screenshots:

At the moment, the application can convert FreeMind and XMind files to TestLink xml files by a simple drag and drop.

I still have to finish the custom updater and fix a bug that is probably due to the SDK 4 on beta. The sources should be open and an online help will be available with mind map samples.

Comments are welcome.

A specific version is available to run on AIR 2 beta, for those needing the app in this environnement. It is based on the very last version 1.5.3 of SQLite Sorcerer.

You must know that the auto update is not activated (issue with updater UI that won’t be fixed till the AIR 2 release).

(update 2nd of Feb 2010: updated for AIR 2 Beta2)

Have fun.

I was used to replace strings by a hardcoded string (or just "" to remove something) or a variable. But sometimes this was not enough, so I started complex treatments of the strings and substrings… often only to get headaches and bugs.

Yesterday, I wanted to clean an HTML string and reuse the value of an attribute to inject it in the new string. I was really not happy at all with the idea of doing the same heavy treatments as in previous works, so I opened the Flex Language Reference and read… This is usually a good thing … to read something totally. And there, I just found the Scrat the Saber-Toothed Squirrel ’s acorn… or I just felt like Scrat catching its treasure ;).

This is now a little more than 1 year that I am working on the SQLite Sorcerer - my posts on multi-statements queries were actually a kind of preliminary study. Then a first release on April 2009, followed by regular releases. I work hard to provide a useful application with a bunch of features and a high level of quality. About the UI, this is just a question of taste and … fun.

Since the release of the version 1.5, I consider to change the way the application is distributed. Actually, I haven’t activated the auto-update feature of the application but it is there till the beginning - just commented - as it was supposed to be an exclusive privilege for donators. But this is really boring for users to uninstall and reinstall a new version to upgrade their favorite ( ) SQLite administration tool. Especially for those working with encrypted databases.

So I decided to activate this feature from now, for everybody. This is my Christmas present (with a few days late) for the few fans of the SQLite Sorcerer ;), to help them have a successful year 2010 with their local SQLite db. If you’re not already a fan, I hope this will help you become a regular user.

Just click the package on the right to get the app.

But there is still a limitation… yes, sorry. The certificate I use to sign the application has its expiry date on june 2010. I am not sure to be able to renew it (I use the offered certificate by Adobe as an AIR application publisher on the AIR marketplace) and I just hope the migration to a self-signed app will encounter no issue.

In the meantime, enjoy the app and don’t hesitate to send me feedbacks and ideas.
