OVUM TECHNOLOGY AUDIT HIGHLIGHTS GORILLA LOGIC’S FONEMONKEY OPEN SOURCE AUTOMATED TESTING TOOL
Research reveals that FoneMonkey stands out in a market where options for Apple iOS automated functional testing are limited
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Oct 27, 2011 – Gorilla Logic, (www.gorillalogic.com), a leader in enterprise application development services and creators of open source test tools for mobile and rich Internet applications, today announced the availability of new independent research from Ovum Technology (www.ovum.com), an objective analyst firm that enables organizations to make better business and technology decisions. The report written by principal analyst, Michael Azoff emphasizes, “For any mobile application developers targeting Apple iOS and the Flash platform, FoneMonkey should be considered for testing and QA purposes.”
Gorilla Logic’s passion for delivering quality software applications for enterprise customers led to the creation of FoneMonkey. It is the only test tool for iOS that records actions with the iPhone or iPad while in use and plays them back as a test script at any time. It enables the interactive creation, editing and playback of automation scripts that exercise an application’s user interface. Using FoneMonkey, developers and quality assurance team members can create suites of tests that automate and perform user operation sequences, and then verify results. FoneMonkey supports development as well as QA testing, and tests can easily be incorporated into continuous integration environments.
Ovum’s key findings on FoneMonkey 5.0 and FlexMonkey 5.0 include:
• Streamlined automated functional testing for Adobe Flex and Apple iOS applications, with record and playback capabilities for all user interactions.
• Can run tests in an automated, CI testing environment, especially suitable for Agile processes.
• Generates native code for complete test customization and extensibility.
“FoneMonkey is the only automated record/playback UI testing tool available for the iOS platform,” said Stu Stern, president and CEO of Gorilla Logic and co-creator of FoneMonkey. “We are pleased that Ovum’s Technology Audit echoes our organization’s view of the Enterprise Application Development market.”

In an effort to recognize excellence in the discipline of test automation, the awards rely on industry practitioners to identify which tools, resources and people are the best, which have the most significant upgrades and/or which are setting the trends that will help take software test automation to the next level in the coming year. Gorilla Logic was recognized as a finalist for its popular Open Source automated testing tool, FlexMonkey (http://www.gorillalogic.com/flexmonkey). The recognition is the fifth in a series of awards and honors the company has received for its technology and success in just the last three months.
“We are honored to have been nominated and named a finalist again this year,” said Stu Stern, CEO and co-founder of Gorilla Logic. “The latest additions to FlexMonkey were driven by the community of users who rely on it for their automated testing every single day. Through them, we continue to make FlexMonkey even better, which is why it is the most widely used open source tool for testing Adobe Flex and AIR applications based on more than 11,000 downloads.”
FlexMonkey allows developers and testers of RIA to record, playback and verify real-world user interactions. If desired, FlexMonkey also can generate ActionScript test scripts that teams can easily use within a continuous integration environment. Gorilla Logic created FlexMonkey in 2008, and continues to contribute to the Flex ecosystem with ongoing enhancements and dedicated support to the community.
FlexMonkey users who want to show their support can do so by visiting (http://www.atihonors.automatedtestinginstitute.com) and voting for Gorilla Logic.

GORILLA LOGIC ANNOUNCES FLEXMONKEY 5 OPEN SOURCE AUTOMATED TEST SOFTWARE FOR ADOBE FLEX AND AIR
FlexMonkey 'Reloaded’ offers completely new testing platform, including new console, additional testing commands, tighter integration with FlexUnit, and new test-trace options
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 1, 2011 – Gorilla Logic, (www.gorillalogic.com), a leader in enterprise application development services and creators of open source test tools for mobile and Rich Internet Applications (RIA), today announced the availability of FlexMonkey 5 (http://www.gorillalogic.com/flexmonkey), the industry’s leading open source automated testing tool for Adobe Flex and AIR. FlexMonkey 5 represents a major re-write of the FlexMonkey core open source test tool, resulting in better performance and increased reliability.
“Functional user experience testing is more critical than ever with the explosion of new consumer computing and devices.” explained Stu Stern, CEO and co-founder of Gorilla Logic. “This latest version offers the community the next-generation of FlexMonkey, making it more extensible and supportable. It showcases our passion for quality, our technical expertise, and our connection to the tools and culture of Agile delivery.”
FlexMonkey is the most widely used open source tool for testing Adobe Flex and AIR applications. With more than 11,000 downloads, FlexMonkey has established itself as the de-facto standard in the industry. It allows developers and testers of RIA to record, playback and verify real-world user interactions. If desired, the test automation tool can also generate ActionScript test scripts that teams can easily use within a continuous integration environment. Gorilla Logic created FlexMonkey in 2008, and continues to contribute to the Flex ecosystem with ongoing enhancements and dedicated support to the community.
New enhancements contained in FlexMonkey 5 include:
- l A new console interface
- l A new test execution model based on FlexUnit 4
- l New SetProperty, StoreValue, and CallFunction commands providing increased power and expressiveness without modifying Actionscript
- l A new test-code generation model, friendlier to customization of generated code
- l Plus hundreds of other changes driven by real-world feedback from the FlexMonkey community and Gorilla Logic’s customers
Stern says these new features translate into some powerful benefits to the FLEX open source functional testing community. Teams delivering Adobe Flex applications can reap the dramatic quality and speed gains delivered from automated user experience testing. “User experience testing for the Adobe Flex/AIR platform now is more powerful, easier to use, faster, and more reliable – plus, it is free because it is open source.” he says. “For FlexMonkey customers that use Agile methods and have complex testing needs, FlexMonkey 5 offers new improvements in test extensions and Continuous Integration (CI) environments.”
Gorilla Logic continues to lead in developing open-source automated test tools for emerging development platforms. In addition to FlexMonkey, Gorilla Logic recently released FoneMonkey 5 (http://www.gorillalogic.com/fonemonkey), bringing record-and-playback automated testing capabilities to the iPhone and iPad for the first time anywhere. Gorilla Logic’s open source testing tools have grown out of the company’s extensive experience providing mobile, web and RIA development services to customers, from Fortune 500 companies to next-generation Internet start-ups.
FlexMonkey 5 is upward-compatible for tests recorded with FlexMonkey 4.1. The FlexMonkey development team intends to support the 4.1.x version for sustaining development for six months. To download a copy of FlexMonkey 5, visit (http://www.gorillalogic.com/flexmonkey).
