		<description><![CDATA[FlexUnit provides support for asynchronous testing with the Async class. While this class works well for event driven tests, it doesn&#8217;t support callback functions like you might want it to. A typical event driven asynchronous test looks like this: &#91;Test&#40;async, description=&#34;Async Example&#34;&#41;&#93; public function testFancyInstanceFiresComplete&#40;&#41;:void &#123; var asyncHandler:Function = Async.asyncHandler&#40;this, doStuffComplete, 500&#41;; fancyInstance.addEventListener&#40;FancyEvent.COMPLETE, asyncHandler, false, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whenever you have a Flex project consisting of several modules, you can take advantage of compiling those modules in parallel – provided that they don&#8217;t depend on each other – using Ant and the Ant-Contrib tasks. In a project with five modules, I&#8217;ve seen a speed increase of about 30% compared to normal sequential compilation. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When developing applications, often you need to set up some dummy data to test things without using real backend services. One particularly useful technique is described by Freeman and Pryce in their book »Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests«: Using the builder pattern to construct complex test data and improve code readability.
