There are no instructions at this time. Documentation is lagging behind our development cycle right now.

However, if you are new to Flex, I would recommend just downloading one of the Turnkey projects and starting from there:

http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexunit/Downloads

These projects are already configured for use. If you do feel like epxloring further, FlexUnit 4 is just a library, which in Flex means it is a SWC file. That SWC file really just needs to be placed in the libs folder of your Flex project to work.

I've written what I needed to do in order to switch from FlexUnit 0.9 to 4 Beta 1 in the blog post Start using FlexUnit4 today!

The best documentation I've found so far is in the unit tests for the project, so I'd suggest you'd download the source. It is however a bit odd that a unit-test project has very few unit tests. I guess they're not into dog food

The only unit tests currently in the framework are the ones migrated from Fluint of FlexUnit1 to show as examples.

You are looking at an early beta, and as this is an open source project being developed purely by volunteers, you might need to give us just a bit more time before you get to see the unit tests and decide if we practice what we preach.

Incidentally, that is one of the reasons we chose to release the initial version as a turnkey and not just point people to the source; we weren't quite ready yet.

However, feel free to join the project and help us. We always appreciate an extra set of hands.

I am sorry about the dog food comment. Don't get me wrong, you guys are doing a great job and it wasn't my intention to be a grumpy old guy. Keep it up and I'm very much looking forward to the release of FlexUnit4!
