@hdave: As far as I know there is nothing magic about TestResponder vs. AsyncResponder. It’s just a useful extension point in the FlexUnit 4 framework. It’s also possible, but I don’t know for sure, that it’s used internally by the framework to track what’s going on.

As far as managing test data goes, I definitely subscribe to the view that your tests should be independent. That being said, I’ve used dbUnit and maven to manage test data, but mostly I’ll use ant to run sql scripts.

Great article. Two questions:

1) What it is exactly that the TestResponder class does that the normal Flex AsyncResponder class doesn’t do?

2) What do you use to reset the database to a known start before (after) each test chain?

Thanks!
