Testing and Debugging
Uniface includes a pre-configured test environment that you can use for unit testing, and a Debugger to analyze problems.
The test environment includes the executables and servers required to run an application. It is configured to automatically access the runtime components generated during compilation. You can configure the test environment for web and other types of applications and components using assignment settings.
You can test individual components in the test environment starting from the Component Editor in the Uniface IDE, or using the /tst command line switch.
Tools and functionality such as the Uniface Debugger and various ProcScript instructions can help you investigate application behavior, optimize components, locate programming bugs, and influence application execution. Uniface profiling functionality enables you to further analyze performance problems.
For security reasons, it is a good idea to disable debugging for production builds. To compile runtime objects so that they cannot be debugged, see Configuring Compilation.
