According to a report on the  NewsFactor website, Adobe have announced plans to unveil a Flash to HTML5 conversion Application.

The software, titled wallaby, will enable developers to reuse and extend the reach of content to iOS devices that do not support the Flash runtimes, such as Apple’s iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

Content creators will be able to edit their converted files by hand or through the use of standard HTML editing tools. Output also can be viewed in a WebKit-based browser such as Chrome or Safari running on OSX and Windows PCs machines as well as mobile devices running iOS 4.2, noted John Nack, Adobe Systems’ principal product manager, mobile.

“Wallaby’s design goal was not to produce final-form HTML ready for deployment to web pages,” Nack wrote in a blog. “Instead it focuses on converting the rich animated graphical content into a form that can easily be imported into other web pages in development with web page design tools like Dreamweaver.

UISpec is a Behavior Driven Development framework for the iPhone that provides a full automated testing solution that drives the actual iPhone UI. It is modeled after the very popular RSpec for Ruby.

To make finding specific views in the iPhone UI easy, UISpec includes a very powerful view traversal DSL called UIQuery. Not only can you easily traverse the view hierarchy, you can also interact with the views you find.
