This post is kind of must read post for all WID/WPS developers, because what we develop today, we test that sooner or later with unit or integration testing.


Highlights of the post are:

• Component Testing.
• Module Testing.
• Testing modules from external application (Attaching to a module)
• Emulation (Manual/Programmatic)
• Creating reusable Test Cases.
• Data pool (Reusing values)
• Testing using Ant script
